What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
The school's warm, welcoming and upbeat atmosphere reflects its core values of respectfulness, kindness, honesty, equality and resilience. Staff and pupils smile often and greet visitors warmly. Pupils speak with pride about their school and all that they have learned. During the inspection, for example, the older pupils spoke excitedly about the upcoming residential trip. Classrooms are happy, busy and purposeful places. Pupils are expected to do their best, and most do. They are keen to get on, behave well most of the time, and work hard. Pupils are kind and take good care of each other. They have noticed improvements in behaviour during the past year and are pleased with the new behaviour policy. Pupils feel that teachers are fair and like the fact that rules and rewards are clearer now. Pupils are confident about talking to an adult if they are worried about anything, and this helps them to feel safe. They know, too, that they can do other things to get help, such as visiting the school's well-being hub, speaking to the emotional literacy support assistant, or posting a comment into the classroom 'listening box'. Leaders take any concerns about bullying seriously and act swiftly if it happens.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in a few of the foundation subjects is not as well sequenced as it is in other subjects. This means that progression across the school in these subjects is not as clear for teachers as it should be, and pupils sometimes do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should implement plans in place to secure further developments in curriculum design.
- Teaching in lessons is not always as responsive to pupils' needs as it could be, particularly for those with SEND. As a result, some pupils find it hard to keep up with learning. Leaders should implement their plans to improve this aspect of the school's work.
