What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 March 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They know they are well cared for and valued. In return, pupils are kind and respectful. Everyone is made to feel welcome and included. Pupils benefit from the strong sense of community embedded in the school's ethos. Pupils quickly forge strong bonds of friendship. School is therefore a safe and harmonious place in which to learn. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are all supported by staff who want them to do well. Pupils access a broad and engaging curriculum. Some subjects are taught by specialist teachers, such as art and modern foreign languages, which deepens pupils' knowledge. Even though the school has grown rapidly in terms of pupil and staff numbers, it has managed quickly and effectively to establish clear learning routines and expectations. Pupils follow these well from the outset. The school offers a range of clubs and trips to broaden pupils' experiences. Pupils can try cheerleading, football, dance, musical theatre and basketball. There are train trips to London to visit landmarks and museums. Older pupils look forward to a residential visit. Good use is made of links with the feeder secondary school for curriculum enrichment, for example in science.
What the school should improve
- On some occasions, staff do not adapt lessons precisely enough. This means that for some pupils, there are missed opportunities to extend and develop their learning further or to fill gaps as quickly as possible. The school needs to ensure that staff know how to adapt learning to precisely meet the specific learning needs in their class so pupils fully meet the ambitious curriculum aims and achieve as highly as they can.
- A few pupils with SEND do not have precise enough learning targets set for them to achieve their short-term goals. This hinders how well these pupils can maximise the learning opportunities offered to them. Leaders need to ensure staff have additional training on how to best deliver the bespoke targets for these specific pupils so they make as much progress as possible.
