What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 April 2024

Pupils flourish at this welcoming, ambitious school. Staff place equal value on pupils' social, spiritual, cultural and academic development. The school's ethos of 'learn to live' underpins every aspect of school life. Pupils' talents and interests are promoted through a wide range of clubs and activities. These include the school's high-performing orchestra, choir and sports teams. As a result, pupils thrive. They are kind, respectful and hard- working. The school supports pupils to become accomplished learners and caring people who are well prepared for the next stages of their education. Pupils behave well. Staff model the school's values and work with pupils and their families to build strong and caring relationships across the school community. Pupils understand the school's values fully. These help them to make good choices in all that they do. Pupils know that there is always someone to talk to and that staff will resolve any worries quickly. They rightly say this strong culture of care helps them to feel very safe. Pupils enjoy learning about different cultures. They have a deep understanding of fairness and equality. Pupils value differences in other people and the opportunity to learn from them. They are polite and respectful towards each other.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, the school has not clearly identified and sequenced the precise knowledge that pupils need to learn. This means that some pupils do not build on their prior knowledge and learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects specifies cumulative knowledge precisely and that the curriculum is implemented fully so that pupils produce work of consistently high quality.
  • Assessment in some foundation subjects needs refining. Consequently, staff do not always have a precise understanding of the gaps in pupils' learning, meaning pupils do not always achieve highly across the curriculum. The school should help staff to check pupils' understanding carefully and use this information to inform their future teaching.
