What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
This is a small school with big ambitions for its pupils. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils are safe and understand how to stay safe. They know they can always share concerns with an adult. This is because staff prioritise pupils' mental and physical well-being. As a result, pupils are happy. Pupils are enthusiastic learners and they behave exceptionally well. They listen to their teachers attentively. Pupils eagerly answer teachers' questions. They are proud to discuss their learning. Learning ambassadors help other pupils in class. Pupils show tremendous respect to everyone. Pupils enjoy a range of trips. Children in Reception visit the seaside and a local library. These experiences enrich their understanding of the world around them. Older pupils visit London and the theatre, and hone their gardening skills at a local stately home. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills and assume responsibility. School councillors represent their friends' views. Their suggestions lead to changes in school life. Eco-councillors plant trees and pick litter. They campaign to reduce plastic and to protect the North Sea from sewage. This helps heighten pupils' environmental awareness. Pupils have a voice, as citizens, in a democratic society.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum does not provide pupils with sufficient knowledge of different world religions and their commonalities. As a result of this, they are not building as rich an understanding of diversity in multicultural Britain and of the wider world as they could. The school needs to ensure that pupils build a richer knowledge of world religions so they are even better prepared for life in multicultural Britain and a global world.
