What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2023

Pupils are happy and safe. They enjoy learning and teachers help them to do their best. Pupils know the school's values of 'respect, courage and perseverance' well. They are eager to share their favourite aspects of school life, such as looking after the school's pet guinea pigs and giant African snail. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. Most pupils live up to these. They learn about the importance of treating others with respect, regardless of their differences. Parents and carers have confidence in the school's care and support for their children. They share pupils' confidence that any unkind behaviour is resolved quickly. Pupils benefit from a high-quality programme which contributes to their broader development. Pupils participate in opportunities that nurture their talents and interests. They appreciate spending time in the on-site forest school and wildlife garden. They value the 'spiritual area' in the school, where they can take time to reflect. Pupils relish opportunities to contribute to the local community. For instance, they take part in litter-picking activities and promote care for the environment through the eco-committee. Pupils appreciate occasions when the school comes together as one community, such as the annual celebration of Founders' Day.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, leaders have not identified the crucial knowledge and vocabulary that pupils need to know precisely enough. As a result, pupils do not gain the same depth of understanding as they do in other subjects. Leaders need to make clear what is important for pupils' future learning in all subjects.
