What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Pupils are proud to attend this school and to be a member of the school's community. Relationships between pupils, staff and families are strong, including in the early years. Pupils are safe in school. The school has three rules which ask pupils to be polite, caring and thoughtful. All pupils follow these rules, routinely behave well and value each other. Pupils understand what bullying is and trust their teachers to deal with it if it does occur, which teachers do. Leaders' academic expectations of pupils are high. Teachers expect pupils to work hard. Pupils achieve well Pupils are happy, polite, and enthusiastic. They love learning and try hard in class. Pupils enjoy the opportunities that leaders provide to raise funds for charity and to develop leadership skills as house-team leaders or members of the school council. Pupils felt that this helps them to learn about taking responsibility. They benefit from opportunities to deepen their learning outside the classroom, including an extensive range of clubs and visits. Pupils said how much they enjoy these experiences.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, leaders have not identified all the knowledge that pupils need to learn and teachers' subject knowledge is not routinely strong. As a result, teaching in these subjects does not routinely ensure pupils learn important concepts. Leaders should ensure that teachers know precisely what key content and skills pupils need to learn, so that pupils' understanding builds cumulatively over time in all subjects.
- Leaders and the governing body do not have a full understanding of limitations in curriculum planning in some foundation subjects. This means that leaders are not held to account for action planning to improve in these subject areas. The governing body and leaders need to ensure that evaluations are accurate and put sound plans in place to secure the improvements needed.
