What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils feel a strong sense of belonging at this warm and welcoming school. They live by the values of both the school and the trust. Pupils show these values throughout the school day. Responsibility is particularly important to pupils. They develop their confidence and independence through the many opportunities the school carefully provides for them to lead. Pupil ambassadors are proud leaders who have a say in how to improve the school. Well-being ambassadors care deeply about helping other pupils should they need support. Across year groups, pupils look after each other and act as positive role models. Pupils of all ages happily play together on the playground and at the breakfast club. Older pupils especially enjoy setting up games for younger pupils to play during lunchtime. This helps to build the strong community feel that exists in the school. Pupils show respect and consideration towards each other and adults. They have a strong sense of everyone being unique and 'special in their own way'. Pupils work hard in class. They want to reach the high expectations the school has of them. This helps pupils to achieve well across the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In subjects where the curriculum is new, there are occasions where checks on pupils' understanding of content and vocabulary are not used to adapt teaching. This means, sometimes, pupils move on to new content before they have secured their understanding of this important knowledge and vocabulary. The school should ensure that teaching in all subjects is well adapted to enable all pupils to secure their understanding of important knowledge and vocabulary.
