What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 September 2022

Pupils are happy here and love coming to school. They are polite and display positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils listen well and show respect for the views of others. The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils. Meeting their teachers' high expectations is important to pupils and they achieve well. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). One pupil summed up the culture of aspiration by saying: 'Our school encourages us to believe in ourselves to achieve our dreams and goals.' Pupils aim to follow the school's 'five star' values of collaboration, creativity, communication, responsibility and achievement. Pupils behave sensibly. Classrooms are places where pupils stay focused on learning. In the playground, pupils play together nicely. They said that bullying and name calling is rare. If it happens, it is dealt with quickly by staff. Teachers plan a wide range of trips to museums, galleries and other places of interest. Pupils also enjoy after-school activities including sports, arts and cycling proficiency. Close links with a local county cricket board mean that pupils get to meet famous cricket ambassadors and go on visits to the cricket grounds at Lords and The Oval. Pupils also enjoy cricket coaching, and some have even played cricket in Downing Street.

What the school should improve

  • The English curriculum, including the approach to early reading, enables pupils to become fluent and enthusiastic readers. However, it does not provide as strong a foundation in writing. This reduces how confidently and accurately pupils record their own ideas. Leaders need to refine the curriculum further to ensure all aspects of pupils' learning in English are equally well supported.
