What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
The school offers a welcoming and supportive environment for pupils. Pupils are proud to be part of such a caring community. They enjoy being in school and feel safe. Pupils share worries with staff, who they know will help them. Pupils learn and achieve well. They rise to the high expectations and challenges in place at the school. Pupils enjoy their lessons. Staff make learning exciting and provide support for those who need extra help. Pupils work hard to achieve reward certificates in the weekly celebration assembly. They proudly celebrate the success of others. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. Clear routines are in place and pupils respond to instructions quickly. Incidents of low-level disruption are rare. Pupils respect each other and adults. Pupils happily take on responsibilities to help others. They value their roles of becoming helpers in the library, dining hall and playground. Pupils have access to a wide range of enrichment activities. These include participating in the school council, additional clubs, music lessons, visits out of school and visiting speakers. Most pupils attend school regularly. This ensures they keep up with their learning. However, some pupils still miss too many days of school.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This means these pupils miss important learning and develop gaps in their knowledge. The school should continue to raise expectations and develop its approach with parents and carers to ensure all pupils have high attendance.
- The school does not consistently assess the implementation of the curriculum and other aspects of its work. This means the impact of any changes are not evaluated regularly. The school should improve its approach to the quality assurance of actions and improvements so that it can evaluate what is working well and what can be improved further.
