What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

Pupils are welcomed into this nurturing community. They enter school smiling and are happy to be there. They are reassured that staff are there to keep them safe. On the corridors and in classrooms, pupils' behaviour is impeccable. Pupils walk around sensibly, hold doors open for each other and greet staff politely. Staff model to pupils how they want them to behave. Pupils live up to the high expectations that staff have for their behaviour. The code of conduct is simple: work hard, be kind, never give up. This helps to successfully frame pupils' attitudes and behaviour. The school has high ambitions for pupils' achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). There is a broad and ambitious curriculum which helps most pupils to achieve well. Pupils are treated as unique individuals. They learn that everyone is different. They treat one another with kindness and respect. Pupils enjoy having responsibilities which contribute towards building a thriving community. For example, the eco-rangers recently worked with the local community to plant bulbs. Pupils enjoy being mental health ambassadors, school councillors and digital leaders.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not ensured that teachers have the knowledge to identify the small steps that some pupils with SEND need to take. As a result, some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment information carefully to identify pupils' specific gaps and the precise actions needed to support pupils with SEND to achieve well.
