What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 July 2024

Pupils enjoy learning at this warm and welcoming school. The school is ambitious for pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to develop deep knowledge across the curriculum. Pupils are keen to live up to the high expectations of their teachers. They typically achieve well. Pupils play their part in contributing to the school's caring community. Staff know pupils and their families well and foster trusting relationships. Pupils behave well. They learn about the importance of respect and kindness. The school makes sure that everyone feels welcome, regardless of their background. Pupils are also determined that differences found within the school's community are valued and celebrated. The school has a strong sport ethos, for which it has achieved recognition in the local area. Pupils benefit from an array of sports clubs, including in lacrosse, dodgeball and gymnastics. They enjoy representing the school locally, such as in tennis and cross- country competitions. The school is determined for pupils to have opportunities to benefit from the wider sporting offer. For example, it has arranged for some pupils with SEND to participate in an adapted golf event with pupils from other schools.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not determined the important knowledge that pupils should remember over time. This makes it difficult for teachers to design learning activities that build on what pupils have already learned. The school should ensure that staff are clear about the knowledge that pupils should acquire and the order in which they should learn it.
  • In subjects where the curriculum is less developed, staff do not check on pupils' learning thoroughly enough. Consequently, at times, pupils retain gaps in their knowledge that staff do not quickly identify or address. The school should develop suitable approaches that allow staff to make accurate assessments of pupils' knowledge so that pupils learn as well as they should.
