What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils enjoy being part of this happy and inclusive school. They know that staff will keep them safe and do everything they can to help them learn. When asked to describe their school, pupils used words and phrases such as 'supportive' and 'treats people equally' and 'determined not to give up'. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are polite, charming and helpful. They join in with class discussions but are also taught to listen to each other carefully. From the early years, they learn to concentrate and to be kind to other pupils. Bullying does not often happen and pupils know that they can use worry boxes or talk to staff about any concerns they might have and that these will be dealt with swiftly. The school expects all pupils to enjoy learning and achieve well, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Relationships between staff and pupils are strong, and low-level disruption of lessons is rare. Pupils, including those with SEND, enjoy getting involved in the wider activities that are offered by the school. Pupils talk enthusiastically about the different clubs they attend, including multi-sports, tag rugby and choir. There are also trips to enrich their education, such as visits to different places of worship, to an archaeological dig and to Paradise Wildlife Park.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes concepts are not securely embedded in pupils' long-term memory before they are moved on to new learning. This means that gaps develop in their understanding. The school should ensure that underpinning knowledge is secure before moving on to new ideas.
