What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

Pupils become confident and inquisitive learners at this warm and inclusive school. They embody the school culture of mutual respect through their caring and courteous behaviour. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), meet the high expectations of teachers through their excellent conduct and strong achievement in class. Pupils play cooperatively and joyfully at breaktimes. Pupils enjoy attending the school and know that teachers work hard to keep them safe. Pupils are enthusiastic learners. They work purposefully and participate excitedly in learning. Pupils show a love for reading and discuss passionately the wide range of stories and books that they study. Pupils have a wide range of opportunities to develop their leadership skills. They act as sports leaders and plan activities at breaktimes or become buddies for pupils who may be experiencing friendship issues. Pupils also apply for positions on the junior leadership team or pupil voice council. They meet regularly with leaders to discuss their ideas and propose changes. Pupil leaders value the roles and the difference that they make to the school. For example, they contributed to the design of the school's well-being garden.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not design activities carefully enough. As a result, pupils do not learn what is intended. Leaders should ensure that teachers design activities that implement the ambitious curriculum consistently well across all subjects.
