What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
Pupils are proud to be part of a welcoming community. They play well with pupils in other year groups. Pupils' well-being is at the heart of the school ethos of 'be the best you can be'. Pupils feel safe because adults are always there to help them. Pupils study an ambitious curriculum. They achieve well in many subjects. Pupils enjoy the wide range of activities that bring learning to life. Activities include sports clubs, and music and reading festivals. Pupils visit places of interest such as the Port of Felixstowe, Ipswich Museum and Colchester Zoo. This develops in pupils an understanding of different cultures and the world around them. Pupils take part in many leadership opportunities. This includes running the school's Fleet Bank, to develop their awareness of finance. Pupils behave well in lessons and on the playground. This starts in early years, where they learn to take responsibility for their own behaviour. Pupils show respect and support each other. When there is occasional low-level disruption, pupils receive effective support to understand the consequences of their behaviour. Bullying is exceptionally rare. If someone is unkind, adults help to sort out any problems.
What the school should improve
- The school does not monitor the quality of the impact of the planned curriculum with enough rigour so all pupils master the skills and knowledge they need to be successful. Leaders, including governors, should monitor the implementation and impact of the curriculum to ensure all pupils are challenged. Refining the monitoring and accountability systems will allow the school to know the impact of the curriculum they have designed to maximise outcomes for pupils.
