What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 February 2023

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are proud of their school motto: 'we care, we share, we love, we learn'. Pupils demonstrate these values within lessons and throughout the school day. Pupils are kind and considerate towards one another. Staff and pupils told the inspector that they see the school as one big family. Pupils are safe and happy at school. They know that they can go to a trusted adult if they have any worries or concerns. If there is any unkind behaviour, including bullying, leaders and staff deal with it quickly and well. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to leaders' expectations and they get on with their learning without interruption. Pupils are proud to represent their school in events such as Young Voices. They enjoy the range of extra clubs on offer such as choir, sports and cheerleading. The parents and carers who shared their views with inspectors were unanimous in their praise for school leaders and staff. They would readily recommend this school to other parents.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that pupils should know and remember. There is so much content for pupils to learn. As a result, pupils cannot retain the most important knowledge. This hinders pupils when building new learning. In these subjects, leaders must ensure that the essential knowledge pupils must know and remember is clear.
  • The learning targets set for pupils with SEND are too broad. This makes success towards these targets unachievable for some pupils. Leaders should ensure that teachers identify the steps in learning that pupils with SEND should reach in order to be successful.
