What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are happy and safe. They play their part in ensuring that the school is orderly, calm and purposeful. Pupils adhere to the school's values, including those of kindness, resilience, integrity and collaboration. Pupils form strong bonds with their peers and staff. They are confident to raise concerns with any adult, secure in the knowledge that they will always be taken seriously. If bullying happens, leaders take swift action to deal with it. Pupils, and children in the early years, respond well to the high expectations that staff have of their behaviour and achievement. As a result, pupils and children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in most areas of the curriculum. Pupils understand fundamental British values. They know that people should not be discriminated against because of where they are from, or what they believe in. Pupils benefit from visiting different places of interest, including museums, theatres and a local nature reserve. They are active citizens. Pupils frequently raise funds for different charitable causes. They are encouraged to pursue their interests in various areas of sport and music.
What the school should improve
- In a few areas of the curriculum, subject leaders do not have the expertise that they need to support teachers to deliver the curriculum effectively. Teachers' efficiency in designing learning and building pupils' knowledge over time is not as strong as it should be. Senior leaders should make certain that subject leaders receive the support that they need to support teachers and ensure that the curriculum is delivered consistently well.
- In a few subjects, teachers' approaches to help pupils to remember their learning are not as effective as they should be. In these subjects, some pupils develop gaps in their learning because their knowledge has not been reinforced over time. Leaders should ensure that teachers make sure that pupils' retention of knowledge in these subjects becomes more secure.
