What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
The school is welcoming, happy and inclusive. It has high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. The school's values of respect, resilience and responsibility are woven through all that it does. Pupils are proud ambassadors for the school. They enjoy school and behave well. Pupils are respectful, polite and sociable. Pupils feel safe. Staff forge caring, supportive relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils trust adults to sort out any problems. They say they can talk to adults if they have any worries. The school provides a broad and interesting curriculum. Most pupils achieve well. However, in a minority of subjects pupils do not build the deep knowledge the school intends. Pupils' enthusiasm is ignited by opportunities to develop their interests. The 'countryside curriculum' develops pupils' love of the outdoors and practical skills, such as den building. It fosters team-building and resilience. Pupils enjoy activities that develop their talents, such as indoor rowing, gardening and sports clubs. Pupils value learning to play instruments, such as the violin or ukulele. They relish having the chance to shine in concerts and at sporting events. Parents' views are typically positive about the school and many comment on how children are at the heart of everything the school does.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the curriculum is not as well established as in others. In these subjects, teaching sequences do not build the deep knowledge pupils need to prepare them for what comes next. As a result, pupils do not learn as much as they should. The school must ensure that pupils build their knowledge securely so that they achieve highly in all subjects.
- In some subjects, teaching does not check what pupils already know. This means that pupils' misconceptions are not picked up swiftly, and this slows pupils' learning down. The school must ensure that assessment is used effectively so that pupils build on what they already know and remember.
