What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
This school is a friendly and happy community where difference is celebrated. Pupils love coming here. If pupils join the school mid-year, they are welcomed and helped to make friends quickly. Pupils enjoy the buddy system where older children partner with younger children. They benefit from these positive relationships across year groups as well as strong bonds with their classmates. Pupils are rightly proud of their school. They enthusiastically share their learning with visitors and talk confidently about their work. The school has high academic expectations, which pupils strive hard to meet. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well during their time at this school thanks to the excellent support they receive. The school grounds are used well for pupils' broader development. Pupils eagerly participate in outdoor activities to design and make shelters, grow food and build their own herb beds. They develop strong characters through the many leadership roles in the school, such as eco-warriors, subject ambassadors and school council to name only a few. Pupils become enterprising young people who understand the power of their own voices and the need to listen to others.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not yet identified the precise knowledge it intends pupils to learn. This means that pupils do not always connect knowledge or ideas together as securely as they could. The school needs to identify the knowledge it intends all pupils to learn and help them to integrate new knowledge into larger ideas.
- Assessment is not yet fully developed across all subjects. As a result, in these areas staff are less able to pinpoint the next steps that are needed to move pupils on swiftly and successfully. The school should continue to develop assessment across the curriculum so that pupils are supported to secure their learning over time.
