What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
Pupils are kept safe and know who their trusted adults are. They enjoy coming to school and learning with their friends. There is a sense of shared pride throughout the school. Pupils act with consideration and show courtesy to others. Pupils benefit from the varied extra-curricular offer. They can take their interests further through a range of clubs, including gymnastics, gardening and art. Pupils develop their leadership skills through a range of roles, such as play ambassadors, peer mediators and school council representatives. Pupils enjoy the outdoor space and having quiet zones to read as well as inviting areas to play ball games. The school has high ambitions for pupils. Leaders have planned a broad and balanced curriculum in line with what pupils need to learn nationally. Pupils are proud of their achievements. They achieve well in national assessments. In a few subjects, the teaching of the curriculum is at an earlier stage of development. This means that key ideas are not consistently taught, including for some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teaching does not consistently focus on the most important knowledge and skills. As a result, the foundations that pupils need for future learning are not always secure and misconceptions are not addressed as swiftly as they could be. The school should ensure that all staff receive appropriate training to teach the required content most effectively. They should also ensure that the curriculum is consistently adapted where needed to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.
- The school's implementation of behaviour and attendance policies is in the early stages. As a result, there are some inconsistencies with how these are used. This makes it difficult to review any patterns and check which groups of pupils need most support. This includes the rates of absence and persistence absence, which remain an area of focus. The school should continue to review the consistency and coherence of policies to identify any patterns and target support where it is most needed.
