What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 November 2022
Pupils are happy and like coming to school. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and positive. Pupils care about each other and know the adults that work in the school care about them. This makes pupils feel safe and develops their confidence. Leaders have high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. Pupils respond well to these aspirations by working hard to improve their knowledge and skills. They are interested in their lessons, and this helps them to achieve well. Leaders have ensured that staff and pupils understand the behaviour rules. As a result, behaviour around the school is calm. Pupils display positive and attentive attitudes when learning. Pupils understand what bullying is. They know that their teachers will make it stop if it happens. The school provides pupils with many experiences to deepen their knowledge about the wider world and to develop their personal skills. Staff make use of the school's extensive outdoor areas effectively. For example, the yurt is a comforting and quiet place where pupils can work and talk to staff. Pupils appreciate and learn much from the extra opportunities they have, such as going on trips to a solar farm.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum guidance in some subjects has yet to be enhanced in the way it has been in reading and mathematics. As a result, some gaps in pupils' learning remain. Leaders need to ensure that they continue to develop subject leadership so that staff have the expertise and skills to improve their subjects further.
