What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
The school sits at the heart of the local community. Despite its considerable size, every pupil is known and valued here. Pupils said that there was a family feel at the school. Staff keep pupils safe, and they enjoy coming to school. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Typical comments included, 'We love how it embraces the diversity of those in the school and builds community.' The school is very effective in ensuring that pupils feel welcome and included. Pupils are polite and articulate. They move around the school and playground respectfully. Bullying is rare and pupils agree that teachers deal with it quickly whenever it does happen. Pupils enjoy a wide range of opportunities that help to develop their talents and interests. For example, football, film club and yoga are highly valued and well attended. Trips and visits that enhance the curriculum are frequent, such as performing musically at theatres. These experiences help build confidence in pupils and prepare them very well for their next stage of education. The school provides parents with plenty of useful news and information about school life.
What the school should improve
- Revisions and refinements to the curriculum have not embedded fully in some subjects. This means sometimes the depth of pupils' knowledge and understanding of subject content is not secure. The school should continue to embed its ambitious curriculum to ensure that all pupils consistently achieve as well as they can.
- In some foundation subjects, the school's systems for assessment are not fully developed. This means that, on occasions, teaching does not identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding precisely. The school needs to further develop its approach to assessment across the curriculum so that staff deepen pupils' understanding so they are fully ready for new content.
