What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

This is a school that acts as the heart of the community. Within the walls of the school, there is a feeling of warmth, care and ambition. This ambition is reflected particularly in how pupils treat one another. Pupils achieve well in national assessments. Staff build strong relationships with pupils. The pupils are comfortable belonging to this large family of other learners and adults. Pupils are safe, respected and accepted. Their confidence in staff's care for them is well founded. Pupils are proud of their school. As one pupil excitedly said, 'Our school is fantastic!' Pupils attend school regularly. Leaders' liaison with pupils' families and other professionals has resulted in more pupils attending school more often. These pupils benefit from the curriculum on offer. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are exceptional. From their earliest time in school, pupils learn how to listen, how to show respect to others and how to become confident, articulate individuals. The school provides highly personalised support on the rare occasions that pupils need help to regulate their emotions. Pupils who receive this support blossom as a result.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, aspects of pedagogy are not delivered consistently in line with the school's expectations. This means that the ambitious end points within the curriculum are not realised as a matter of course. The school should continue to identify and develop pedagogy in the areas of the curriculum where there are inconsistencies.
