What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
School leaders have high expectations for all pupils and staff. Pupils speak very positively about their school. They live by the school's values each day by showing independence and kindness to one another. Pupils have confidence in the trusted adults in school. There is a culture of positive behaviour, and the school is generally calm. Pupils develop keen interest, curiosity and enjoyment in their learning. Breaktimes are active, social and fun. Pupils receive a good-quality education. The school has ensured that there is now a clearly sequenced curriculum in place in all subjects. Pupils enjoy their learning. They know they are learning more valuable knowledge and skills than before. The school carefully considers the needs of its pupils when designing its offer for personal development. Pupils have numerous opportunities to be part of the wider leadership team of the school. Pupils take great pride in making a difference to the school by being 'inclusion ambassadors', 'international ambassadors' or part of the 'communications team'. They talk positively about the range of extra-curricular activities such as creative writing, football and chess. They appreciate the school trips and being part of the community through fundraising or donating to food banks.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not develop their writing skills as well as they could. The tasks they are given are sometimes too easy or too hard. The school should further develop the expertise of staff to consistently implement the new approach to the teaching of writing and maintain a sharp focus on developing pupils' writing skills.
- In some subjects, teachers have not identified and filled gaps in pupils' knowledge quickly enough. Consequently, some pupils are not secure in what they can remember in these subjects. The school should ensure that the new curriculum is implemented effectively across all subjects so pupils learn the important knowledge the school intends.
