What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 29 November 2022

This small school has a caring ethos and warm atmosphere. Staff are attentive to pupils' needs and mindful of their well-being. Pupils feel safe at school. They like the way they learn. They enjoy the variety of extra-curricular activities the school offers. Leaders and staff have high expectations for all the pupils. They make sure that pupils have a well-rounded education. Leaders have designed a curriculum that helps pupils to achieve well. It also prepares them well for their future. The four rules that guide pupils' behaviour are 'be ready, be kind, be respectful, and be safe'. Pupils like these rules and follow them carefully. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils are respectful and kind to each other. Bullying is not an issue in the school. When it happens, staff deal with it promptly. Parents value the individual care and support their children get. They appreciate that leaders and staff are approachable. Leaders want communication between school and families to be as effective as possible. They are implementing new systems to improve it. Leaders encourage parents to be involved in their children's education.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment with enough precision. As a result, they do not identify and address pupils' misconceptions as early as they could. Leaders need to ensure that timely assessment opportunities allow teachers to adjust teaching to address any misconceptions and gaps in pupils' learning in all subjects.
