What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

Respect is central to everything at this vibrant and inclusive school. Pupils are considerate of each other and respect their caring teachers. They trust all adults to listen to them. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils enjoy school. They learn a lot about interesting topics and benefit from many experiences to bring their learning to life. They visit museums and go on residentials. Pupils meet interesting people to inspire them in setting goals for their future. They appreciate opportunities to develop their wider interests in music and sport. They care about the environment and learn about equality, to become considerate citizens. The school sets high expectations. Pupils rise to these and take pride in their school. They behave well in lessons and around school. They want to do their best for themselves and their school team. They relish receiving awards. Older pupils set positive examples as pupil councillors, as members of the sports crew and as reading ambassadors. The vast majority of parents and carers appreciate their children are happy and safe at this school. They say that the school is responsive to any concerns.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, monitoring does not yet identify precisely what is going well and what needs to improve. As a result, staff do not always get the help they need to improve their teaching of the curriculum. The school should ensure that there is a precise understanding of the strengths and areas for improvement in these subjects, and that staff receive the support they need to know how best to teach the subjects' curriculums.
  • Some pupils with SEND and some pupils who are at risk of falling behind do not always receive the precise adaptations and support they need to access their learning consistently well in all subjects. They do not make as much progress as they could. The school should ensure that those pupils who require it receive precise additional support to enable them to achieve as highly as they can.
