What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils are rightfully proud of their school. The school's values, the 3Rs of 'respect, responsibility and readiness', are lived out daily by pupils and staff. Pupils are happy, safe and cared for well. They are respectful, polite and welcoming. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning across the curriculum. Pupils learn well in a range of subjects, including English and mathematics. Pupils appreciate that their attitudes, effort, work and positive behaviour are rewarded. They understand how the new behaviour ladder is helping to improve their behaviour and conduct. Pupils get on well with each other. Older pupils take care of younger peers, including children in the early years. The school provides lots of positive opportunities to promote pupils' personal development. Pastoral care is strong. The school develops pupils' character and resilience well. Pupils recall many memorable events, including positive experiences of residential and theatre visits. They relish taking on responsibility. The pupil leadership team is well respected and pupils enjoy their role in helping to make decisions about the school's work. Parents and carers have very positive views about the school. Typically, a parent commented, 'My children are happy to go to school every morning and they are eager to share what they have learned.'
What the school should improve
- Some subject curriculums are not as ambitious and well implemented as they should be. As a result, pupils do not consistently gain and build key knowledge and skills in these subjects over time. The school must ensure that all subject curriculums are suitably ambitious and are implemented effectively, thus enabling pupils to know, remember and do more across the curriculum.
- In some subjects, the school has not established secure approaches to assessing pupils' learning. Consequently, errors and misconceptions in learning are not identified and addressed quickly. The school should develop more effective approaches to developing staff expertise in their use of assessment.
