What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this inclusive school. Pupils say that they are happy to come to school every morning because their teachers are always welcoming and kind. They feel safe because they trust adults to resolve any problems they may have. Staff expect pupils to behave very well. Pupils listen respectfully to each other and are confident in sharing their opinions with other pupils and with their teachers. Behaviour is mainly calm and orderly. The school aims to give all pupils the best start in life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils try hard to live up to these high expectations. They enjoy their lessons, and most achieve well. Many pupils enjoy the wider opportunities provided for them. Leaders invite various visitors into school for assemblies and workshops. These events allow pupils to learn about a range of issues which help prepare them for life outside school. For example, pupils spoke enthusiastically about what they had learned during a recent mental health week.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the assessment of pupils' knowledge and understanding is underdeveloped. As a result, assessment strategies in these subjects do not provide teachers with the information they need to check what pupils have learned and remembered. The school should ensure that, across all subjects, pupils' learning is checked in such a way that provides teachers with the information they need to identify the next steps for their pupils' learning.
