What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 March 2024

Pupils enjoy attending this busy school. They are happily engaged in learning from the start of each day. Pupils are proud of the accomplishments of their school, including successes in competitions and a range of charitable fundraising. The school has high expectations for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils display positive attitudes to their learning, and they achieve well. Pupils' behaviour across the school is exemplary. Pupils are kind to their peers, and they work well together. This begins in the early years where children are keen to share and involve each other in their activities. Pupils hold a range of positions of responsibility, which they carry out with pride. For example, older pupils act as 'buddies' for younger pupils to help them to settle into school. The school provides an abundance of opportunities to build the interests and talents of pupils. For example, pupils take part in a variety of sports, such as netball, lacrosse and swimming. Many pupils play a wide range of musical instruments. There are also many other clubs on offer to pupils, for instance, cookery, sewing and art. Pupils' learning is enhanced through regular visits, including opportunities to travel abroad.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified the gaps in some older pupils' knowledge from weaknesses in the previous curriculum. On occasion, this hinders how deeply some pupils learn. The school should ensure that teachers are well equipped to fully address the gaps in pupils' knowledge left by the previous curriculum designs. This is so that pupils, including those with SEND, can benefit fully from strengthened subject curriculums.
  • The school does not monitor the effectiveness of its policies and curriculums as well as it could. As a result, the school does not have a deep enough understanding of the impact of the quality of education that it provides, including adaptations for pupils with SEND. The school should ensure that it has sufficient oversight of the implementation of polices and curriculums so that it can address any inconsistencies in the quality of education as they occur.
