What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2023

Pupils enjoy attending this friendly school. Leaders encourage pupils to follow the school's values, such as respect and compassion. Adults make sure that pupils make their school a positive place in which to learn. Staff are highly ambitious for what all pupils can learn, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They know their subjects well and enable pupils to be excited about their learning. Pupils flourish here. They are eager to learn, work hard and achieve very highly in reading, writing and mathematics. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary in all areas of the school. They are polite and play and learn well together, treating each other with respect and consideration. Pupils feel safe. Staff take pupils' safety, including their mental and physical health, seriously. Pupils are confident that staff will help them if they have any worries or concerns. Pupils relish all that the school has to offer. They enjoy a wealth of carefully planned experiences, such as visits to the theatre and museums. There is an abundance of opportunities for pupils to develop talents and skills in the arts, music and sports. Participation in extra-curricular activities is high.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, staff who provide pupils with additional support have varying levels of expertise. This leads to inconsistencies in how well staff help pupils, including pupils with SEND, to catch up quickly across the curriculum, particularly in some foundation subjects. Leaders need to ensure all staff have subject-specific expertise to help pupils to know and remember more of the taught curriculum in foundation subjects.
