What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 May 2023

Pupils are proud to attend this happy, inclusive school. They enjoy warm, respectful relationships with staff and each other, and have confidence that the staff will listen to them if they have any concerns or worries. Incidents of bullying are very rare and pupils are confident that staff deal with any effectively. Leaders are quick to address any unkind behaviour that pupils report. Pupils feel happy and safe. Leaders at all levels have high expectations of pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Behaviour is a strength of the school. Pupils understand the school's 'Golden Rules' and how they help keep everyone safe and able to do their best. Playtimes and lunchtimes are pleasant social events. Pupils work hard during lessons and achieve well. Leaders have created a range of opportunities for pupils to lead in their school community. Pupils enjoy these roles where they learn to appreciate and consider other people's views. Pupils relish the raft of different clubs on offer, including dodgeball, ukulele, drama, and bellringing. Leaders have ensured that every pupil who wants to take part in clubs and trips are enabled to do so, including pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils.

What the school should improve

  • In a minority of subjects, leaders have not been sufficiently precise about what they want pupils to know by the time they leave the school. This means that pupils' knowledge is not secure in each curriculum area. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the knowledge of what pupils should learn and how to best achieve that in all subject areas.
