What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2023
This is a welcoming school where pupils are kind and caring. Pupils enjoy school because adults help them to learn. Pupils behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. This is because staff have taught them the importance of 'staying on green'. Pupils generally work hard and produce work of a good quality in a range of subjects. Pupils are confident that if they have a worry, one of their five trusted adults will listen and help them. This means they feel happy and are kept safe. There are several opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. For example, school councillors and leaders worked together to make the swimming provision even better. School councillors compared the costings of hiring the local leisure centre with the costings of a mobile pool, and now a mobile pool is in place during the summer term. Pupils have regular opportunities to learn about and celebrate events from different cultures. Examples include Diwali, Christmas and Yom Kippur. These opportunities help pupils to understand and respect people with different beliefs and customs. The school has a band and a choir. The members of the school choir value the opportunities they get to practise and perform together.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, pupils struggle to remember key knowledge, skills and vocabulary. This means that pupils have gaps in their learning. This is because in these subjects the curriculum is not sequenced as effectively as it could be. In addition, in these subjects the school does not have systems in place to check what has been taught, learned and remembered. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum is sequenced effectively and that there are processes in place to check what pupils' have learned.
