What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
This school is a harmonious community where pupils treat each other with positivity, kindness and respect. Pupils' well-being is at the heart of the school's work. Pupils love coming to school to learn and be with their friends. As a result, pupil attendance is high. Pupils say the INGRAVE values help them better themselves by, for instance, being resilient in their learning or showing kindness to others. They wear their INGRAVE values badges with pride. Pupils behave exceptionally well because they understand the school rules and inclusive culture. Pupils talk openly about their feelings with staff. This helps them to feel safe and enables staff to put support in place if anyone is having a challenging time. Pupils enjoy a wide range of books and stories. They read interesting and diverse texts that teach them about people that are different from themselves. There are plenty of well-considered leadership opportunities for pupils. Being a student councillor, for instance, gives pupils a voice in improving the school. Outside of the classroom there are a range of things for pupils to do. Clubs, such as maths and coding, are well attended. Class trips to places such as the Tower of London help bring learning to life.
What the school should improve
- A minority of subjects are still being refined. Curriculum documents do not always clarify exactly what knowledge must be taught and when. This makes it harder for staff to plan lessons that build pupils' knowledge over time. As a result, pupils occasionally do not learn as well as they should in these subjects. The school must ensure that curriculum documents specify exactly what knowledge staff should teach and when they should teach it.
