What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 March 2024
Pupils thrive and succeed in this ambitious and inclusive school. Trustees, governors, leaders and staff share a commitment to ensure that the best interests of pupils are at the heart of every decision. Expectations are consistently high, and well met. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) flourish with impressive support. Behaviour is impeccable. Pupils are joyful, polite and considerate, respecting the views of others. The behaviour approach is well understood, and ensures a positive learning environment. Children in early years show sustained concentration and high engagement. They learn about their feelings and how to regulate them. This impressive pastoral approach equips them well for their next steps. Pupils relish responsibility. They make a tangible difference to school life through roles including librarian, well-being ambassador, sports leader and member of 'pupil parliament'. They love the sport opportunities, proudly representing the school in a wealth of events. Highlights include the girls' football tournament at a local stadium and a sports event for pupils with additional needs, which was inspirational for pupils with SEND. The school's club offer is extensive and impressive. From pottery to dodgeball, and Spanish to football, there is something for everyone. The school ensures that disadvantaged pupils never miss out.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, lesson activities do not match the precise design and ambition of the well- developed curriculum plans. This means that some pupils may not learn and remember the key content successfully. The school should continue its work to ensure that all lesson tasks support pupils to learn the curriculum consistently highly across all subjects.
