What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
The school's values of 'belonging, ambition, resilience and kindness' are at the core of everything it does. The school fosters a strong sense of belonging, ensuring that every pupil feels valued, supported and safe. This helps pupils to feel happy and enthusiastic about their learning and the enrichment opportunities on offer to them. Staff have high expectations of how pupils achieve. The majority of pupils achieve well. Pupils consistently show high levels of kindness and politeness towards both their peers and visitors. Staff help pupils to behave well and show positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils have a clear understanding of the school's behaviour expectations. Pupils demonstrate understanding and acceptance of each other's differences. The school is proud to help pupils to play an active role in the community. Pupils contribute positively to their local area. For example, the school's choir regularly sings with the community choir and takes part in local celebration events. Pupils benefit from a well-considered offer for personal development. The school prioritises the development of pupil leadership opportunities. Pupils are empowered to take leading roles in assemblies, lunchtime clubs and charity fundraising. Pupils also act as peer mentors and school councillors. This means that they make a tangible contribution to school life. For example, the school council has successfully campaigned for safer driving near the school.
What the school should improve
- The tasks that pupils are set do not consistently enable them to learn the wider curriculum as well as they should. Pupils' work in the wider curriculum is below the standard of their work in core subjects. The school should carry out further work to help deepen pupils' learning in the wider curriculum.
- Assessment is not used well enough to check how well pupils are learning the wider curriculum. This means that gaps are not identified and teachers are not consistently sure that pupils are ready for new learning. The school should improve the use of assessment to better check how well pupils are learning the intended curriculum.
