What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 June 2022

The school's values are central to everyday life at the school. Leaders and teachers routinely encourage pupils to become 'confident, capable and caring' members of society. Staff model these attributes and support pupils to apply them in their work and play. Relationships between pupils and staff are professional, respectful and warm. Pupils are safe. They enjoy coming to school and value their education. Staff know pupils, their interests and personal circumstances well. Pupils know that they can trust the adults at school to provide the support they need if they are worried about anything. Leaders and teachers have high expectations of pupils. The curriculum is well planned and broad. As a result, pupils achieve well across the subjects. Pupils speak confidently and eloquently about their learning. Pupils behave well in class and as they move around the school. Pupils said that bullying is rare, and that they have confidence in their teachers to address any issues that may arise. Leaders deal with any incident of bullying effectively. Parents, carers and pupils are pleased that leaders provide a range of clubs and activities to enrich the school's curriculum. Uptake is high, which makes a strong contribution to promoting pupils' personal development. Parents value the school's nurturing environment, combined with leaders' drive to achieve high standards.

What the school should improve

  • In PE and music, leaders' systematic approach to checking what pupils know and remember is still developing. Leaders should ensure that assessment strategies are firmly embedded in all subjects so that pupils who need to catch up are identified quickly and provided with the support they need.
