What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils, parents and carers and staff are proud to be a part of this caring school that includes everyone. Pupils are happy, polite and enjoy coming to school to learn. Leaders and staff work very well together to make a positive difference for the pupils that attend. The school is aware of pupils' needs as they enter school, with many having English as a second language or being new to the country. The school has high expectations for all pupils to achieve their best. Since the last inspection, the school has further strengthened pupils' achievements. This means that pupils achieve well and in some subjects, their attainment is high. Pupils know the school's expectations of their behaviour and are keen to demonstrate these when learning and playing. This means that there is a calm and purposeful learning environment in which pupils thrive. Relationships between pupils and staff are highly positive and respectful. The school is committed to providing all pupils with rich experiences throughout their time here. Pupils benefit from learning first aid, visits to the theatre, trips to the zoo and a farm, the chance to join a rock band, learning how to play chess, and a trip to the Houses of Parliament.
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in how well staff check pupils' understanding in lessons. When this happens, opportunities are lost to reshape the learning and address misconceptions. This means that on occasions pupils do not learn as well as they could in lessons. The school should continue to ensure that all staff become expert at responding to how well pupils know and remember their learning.
