What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2023

Pupils' well-being is at the heart of this nurturing school. The school supports pupils well to recognise and to manage their own feelings. For example, pupils said that any concerns that they share using the 'worry monster' are promptly addressed by staff. This helps pupils to feel happy and safe. The school has high expectations of what all pupils can achieve, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school enriches the curriculum for pupils through visits to galleries, museums and places of worship. In most subjects, pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils show respect for their friends and for staff. Pupils move around the school in a calm and orderly manner. Staff's consistent approach to managing pupils' behaviour helps to ensure that learning is rarely disrupted. Pupils have many opportunities to explore and celebrate the heritage and uniqueness of the local area. They are proud of how they have helped the school and the wider community. For example, pupils have been instrumental in the successful development of the school's nature area.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the checks on pupils' learning are not fully effective in identifying gaps in knowledge. As a result, earlier learning is not secure for some pupils. The school should make certain that assessment strategies are used effectively to identify misconceptions so that gaps in learning are known and addressed.
