What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to this inclusive school. Pupils benefit from the school's high ambitions and expectations. They enjoy learning new things and are eager to share their knowledge. Pupils achieve well due to ongoing improvements made by leaders in the school. As a result, pupils are remembering more of what they have been taught. Pupils behave well. The school is a happy place to be. Pupils enjoy attending and are motivated to learn. They have warm, mutually respectful relationships with everyone in the school. Staff help pupils to recognise their emotions so that they can manage them successfully. Pupils show consideration towards each other. A sense of kindness permeates the school. This leads to social times being harmonious because pupils take care of each other and their environment. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to take on responsibility and support each other. This helps them to develop empathy for others. For example, 'young interpreters' ensure pupils new to learning English get the support they need to settle at the school. This also includes well-being ambassadors, who work with staff to think about ways to aid mental and physical health in the school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school does not check effectively whether pupils have remembered previously taught knowledge. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects. The school needs to ensure that systems are in place to check pupils' understanding so they can build and connect knowledge over time.
