What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 October 2023
Pupils are happy to come to school and enjoy learning. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well and feel safe. They value the strong pastoral support and trust adults to listen to them if they have a problem. Pupils benefit from an exceptionally well-planned range of experiences that develop their interests and talents within and beyond the academic. These are carefully chosen to build pupils' cultural capital and readiness for life in modern Britain. The school removes any barriers to participation so that all pupils can enjoy these experiences. Pupils have a strong moral code. They understand that people are different. They know that all people, irrespective of their characteristics, should be treated equally. As a result, they are respectful to one another. Parents are overwhelmingly positive about the school. They value the education and experiences pupils have. They highly recommend the school.
What the school should improve
- The teaching of reading and mathematics is not consistently based on secure subject knowledge. This means that, sometimes, pupils do not get the precise teaching they need to read or calculate fluently. The school must ensure that teaching is based on secure subject knowledge so that pupils learn as well as they should.
- The curriculum is not always implemented as leaders intend. This means that pupils do not always achieve the ambitious aims of the curriculum. The school should ensure that the implementation of the curriculum enables pupils to know more, remember more and do more over time.
