What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils at this school feel well supported and nurtured by a team of dedicated staff. Pupils feel safe, because they know there is someone to go to if something is worrying them. They know the school values of respect, perseverance, responsibility and kindness. Pupils demonstrate these in their attitudes to work and each other. They say that everyone is welcome at their school. Pupils develop a strong understanding of respect for differences between people and cultures. The school is ambitious for all pupils. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy their learning and want to do well. They know and demonstrate the value of perseverance daily and keep going when work becomes challenging. As a result, pupils work hard and achieve well. Older pupils relish the many roles they hold around the school, such as peace ambassadors or 'Wandle Wizards'. They enjoy these opportunities as they enable pupils to help and support others. Pupils love to sing with the choir and enjoy performing for the local care home. They relish participating in a range of clubs. Some pupils establish and lead clubs to share their interests with others.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is new and pupils have gaps in their understanding. As a result, pupils are not able to connect new learning to what they have studied previously. The school should ensure that staff accurately check pupils' understanding and use this information to inform their future teaching, so that pupils achieve consistently highly across the curriculum.
