What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Pupils are happy and they enjoy coming to school. They feel safe. Pupils said that they feel like part of a family. They explained to the inspector that they are taught how to deal with any problems that do arise. Pupils are secure in the knowledge that teachers will help if needed. They are confident that teachers would sort out any bullying quickly. Leaders have high expectations for pupils, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils, including those who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision), have positive attitudes to learning. They behave well. Most pupils, including children in the early years, achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils benefit from warm and caring relationships with staff. Pupils, and children in the early years, are polite and well mannered, and they are keen to make visitors to the school feel welcome. Pupils enjoy contributing their ideas to leaders' curriculum design through generating 'big questions' that they can explore in the classroom. Pupils said that this makes their learning interesting. Most parents and carers are happy with the support that staff provide for their children and they would recommend the school to others.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not ensured that some pupils and children benefit from a wide enough range of opportunities to learn about life beyond the school and the local community. As a result, some pupils' understanding of the wider world is underdeveloped, including their understanding of some British values. Leaders should ensure that all pupils benefit from a rich set of experiences that broaden their horizons and support them to become responsible and active citizens.
