What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
A strong inclusive ethos is at the heart of this school. It is committed to serving and welcoming all pupils and their families. The school's values of 'inspire', 'believe', 'persevere' and 'achieve' are evident through the care given to pupils. Pupils embrace these values to help them make the right choices, meeting the high expectations staff have. All pupils benefit from a broad, well-planned curriculum that is well developed in most subjects. The school is ambitious for pupils' achievements, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school has a strong understanding of individual pupils' needs. Staff work relentlessly to make every day successful for every pupil. Pupils are polite, well mannered and respectful. At social times, pupils eat and play sensibly with their friends. Pupils are confident that staff sort out issues fairly and quickly. Pupil leadership roles such as those of school councillors and prefects enable pupils to have a genuine role in decision making. The school provides an increasing variety of enrichment experiences. Pupils talk enthusiastically about trips they have enjoyed. These include curriculum visits that enhance learning in history, science and an overnight camping experience in Year 4 to prepare for longer residential adventures.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers lack clarity of what the key knowledge is that pupils should learn and how best to teach it. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should further refine its curriculum in these subjects to prioritise the key content that it wants pupils to learn.
- In some subjects, assessment processes are not fully in place. As a result, staff are not always addressing misconceptions or building on prior learning effectively. The school should ensure assessment information is used effectively so that all pupils learn even more of the curriculum's key knowledge effectively.
