What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Pupils are happy at this vibrant, welcoming school. They enjoy learning and socialising with their friends. The school values of friendship, independence, respect and excellence are evident in the way that pupils conduct themselves. The school has high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Following some major changes to the curriculum, an increasing number of pupils now meet the school's high expectations for their academic success. However, because of weaknesses in the previous curriculum, some pupils have gaps in their learning. They do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils, including children in the early years, engage fully in their lessons. Disruption to pupils' learning and to school life is rare. The school does not tolerate poor behaviour. Pupils said that they trust adults to deal quickly with any concerns that they have. Pupils benefit from a wide range of experiences that go beyond the academic curriculum. For example, they spoke enthusiastically about their trips to the zoo and the theatre. They enjoy the outdoor pursuits that they take part in at the local outdoor activity centre. Pupils also attend cooking, dance and martial arts clubs. These experiences enable pupils to develop new interests and find unexplored talents.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the activities that teachers choose to deliver the curriculum do not help pupils to deepen their knowledge. Consequently, some pupils do not learn all that they should. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to design learning tasks that support pupils to acquire knowledge securely over time.
- Some teachers do not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to recap on what they already know and can do. This hinders some pupils' progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers check that pupils' previous knowledge is fully secure so that they can build their learning over time.
- Some pupils have a limited knowledge of other religions, cultures and fundamental British values. This means that they are not as well prepared as they should be for life in modern Britian. The school should ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to learn about diversity within modern society so that they are well prepared for the next phase of their lives.
