What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 December 2022

Pupils benefit from attending this inclusive and warm school. They are proud to show their school values of 'happy, healthy, high achievers'. Pupils take part in a wide range of activities that build their character and confidence exceptionally well. They show genuine warmth and kindness in the way they support each other. Pupils are passionate about the importance of being active citizens in the school, encouraging each other to achieve their best. Pupils are knowledgeable about bullying and know what to do if it happens to them or someone else. They are confident that adults will help them with any issues they may have. However, instances of bullying are extremely rare in the school. Pupils are highly motivated. They consistently demonstrate positive attitudes in lessons and around the school. They are proud of their community of respect where everyone is happy and feels safe. Pupils value the ambitions and expectations that teachers have for them. They meet these expectations because they trust that adults want what is best for them. The ambitions staff have mean that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve very well.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subject areas, the sequencing of knowledge has not been fully considered by leaders. Where this is the case, there is not a consistent approach to the implementation of the subject and leaders therefore do not know if pupils throughout the school are learning what they should be. Leaders should ensure that there are strong, shared expectations of how their curriculum is delivered in each subject. Governors should check that this work is effective.
