What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils in this school 'stride with pride'. They are proud to learn at this positive and welcoming school. Leaders have created a calm and purposeful environment for pupils to learn. Relationships between staff and pupils are caring and respectful. Pupils say they feel safe. They trust adults to help them if they have any concerns. Adults teach pupils to understand and respect the similarities and differences between them. Relationships between pupils are kind and considerate. They understand that some pupils need extra help with their learning and behaviour. Staff help pupils to follow clear routines when moving through the school building. In shared areas, such as corridors, staff have high expectations of how pupils should behave. Leaders have worked hard to improve the attendance of pupils. Despite this, too many pupils do not attend school as frequently as they should. Since the last inspection, leaders have made improvements to the curriculum. This is ambitious and well thought out. The school identifies and supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) quickly. These pupils benefit from the same ambitious curriculum as their peers. They receive the right support at the right time. The improvements to the curriculum are impacting positively on pupils' progress. The outcomes from statutory assessments in 2023 are not reflective of the quality of education that pupils receive.
What the school should improve
- The assessment of the impact of more recently developed aspects of the curriculum is not as precise as it could be. This means that the school sometimes does not have the information it needs to see how well curriculum changes are impacting on pupils' learning. The school should ensure that its evaluation of all areas of the curriculum provides it with the information it needs to continue to improve outcomes for pupils.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This means that they miss valuable opportunities to build on their learning through the ambitious and skilfully taught curriculum. The school should continue to work with families to embed and refine systems to increase attendance.
