What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 October 2022

Pupils are proud to be part of this happy and inclusive community. They celebrate differences. Staff motivate pupils to do well. Pupils respond with kindness to each other and adults. Staff have high expectations for all, and pupils are keen to rise to the challenges set for them. Pupils know that staff want the best for them. They enjoy taking part in many school activities. Pupils value the range of opportunities that they have to develop their individual talents, including arts and crafts clubs, and sports. Pupils are helped to understand the role that everyone plays in developing the school. They felt that teachers listened to their views and were encouraged to make a difference. Pupils are safe. They appreciated how much the adults at school care about them. Pupils respond maturely to the routines in place to support positive behaviour. As a result, pupils respect each other and behave sensibly. Any incidents of bullying are dealt with quickly by adults.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, leaders do not identify the key knowledge that pupils need to learn and when. As a result, pupils do not learn the key knowledge they require to build a deep body of knowledge. Leaders should ensure that all subjects identify the content that pupils need to learn sequentially over time, beginning from the early years
  • For a minority of pupils with complex needs, staff do not always provide appropriate support. As a result, these pupils do not make the progress of which they are capable. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the required expertise to support all pupils with SEND, so that learning is adapted according to their needs.
