What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy their lessons at Lower Farm. Pupils feel safe and well cared for by staff whom they trust. One pupil commented, 'Everything about the school is amazing.' The school has lofty expectations for pupils to reach their full potential. Pupils work hard in lessons and realise these high expectations. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve particularly well in this school because of the high- quality extra support they receive. The school expects pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils to attain as well as their peers. Learning gaps are closing. Pupils take on many extra responsibilities. These help them to become independent and grow in confidence through taking on roles such as head boy and head girl. Some pupils are digital leaders and place a great emphasis on supporting the well-being of their peers. Pupils want to play their part in the local community. Visits to a local care home have raised their awareness of caring for others in the community. Around school and in lessons, pupils behave well. Occasionally, when pupils fall out, they like to resolve any difficulties without troubling the staff. They know the school behaviour rules and abide by them.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, some pupils do not always remember key knowledge or vocabulary. This hampers them knowing and remembering more over time. The school should fully embed the learning of key knowledge and ensure that pupils understand key vocabulary.
