What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
The school is ambitious for every pupil that walks through the door. They are determined that pupils will, 'be brave, be curious, be kind' and become the best version of themselves. Pupils get on well together. They quote the 'Moorhead Code' that sets out exactly how they are expected to behave. In lessons they listen well and work hard. At lunchtime pupils enjoy 'family dining'. Older and younger pupils sit together to eat and chat. On the playground there is a wealth of active games they can choose from. They show high levels of respect for members of staff and say that their teachers are one of the best things about the school. They welcome visitors and talk enthusiastically about their work. Pupils spoken to say they are proud to be a part of the 'Moorhead family'. Work to improve the school since the last inspection has been transformational and the school has gone from strength to strength. The entire school community recognises the many positive changes that have been made. Parents and carers are unanimously supportive of the school. They routinely describe how happy their children are to come to school and praise the staff for their care.
What the school should improve
- On a few occasions teachers do not adapt their delivery of the curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils. When this is the case, pupils do not develop a deep understanding of the intended learning. The school must ensure that all staff have the confidence and skills they need to make these adaptations when needed.
