What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 September 2023
Pupils are proud of their friendly school. They celebrate diversity and difference, showing acceptance and empathy towards others. The school's highly inclusive culture is felt by all, with one pupil saying, 'Everyone is so welcome here.' There are clear and high expectations for how pupils should behave. Pupils live up to these expectations. This results in a calm and respectful atmosphere across the school. Pupils are keen and enthusiastic in their lessons. There is rarely any interruption to learning. Pupils want to learn, and they value the feedback and rewards they receive. At break- and lunchtimes, pupils play happily together. They know that their trusted adults keep them safe and help them if they have any worries. Following a period of considerable change, there is now a settled leadership and staff team who are highly ambitious for the school. There is a palpable air of excitement about recent curriculum changes which parents welcome. Pupils achieve well and benefit from wider opportunities and experiences. They delight in meeting visitors to the school and in the information they learn in their assembly programme. They enjoy learning about their local area, for example through trips to Carisbrooke Castle and Amazon World Zoo.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, consistent assessment processes have not been fully established. This means that there is no clear oversight of how well pupils are learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that useful assessment systems are in place that enable leaders to check how well pupils are learning the curriculum.
