What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils love their school. They rush through the gates in the morning and are rarely late. They have warm and respectful relationships with adults and peers. Pupils feel welcomed and listened to in the inclusive culture. Pupils know about global and local issues and are passionate about being a force for good in their community. They are passionate about issues, such as climate change. Pupils feel safe to question and discuss any topic with each other and adults. The school has high expectations of behaviour and learning. Pupils rise to meet these. The vision the school has for pupils is evident in all its actions and decisions. Pupils display highly positive attitudes. They are proud of the learning in their books and keen to share what they know. Pupils have aspirations to achieve well and be the best that they can be. Pupils are ready for life in modern Britain. There is a detailed personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) curriculum. The school uses this to make sure all pupils understand their place in the world. Pupils apply these concepts enthusiastically around the school. They are welcoming and celebrate diversity. As a result, pupils feel safe and cared for by their community.

What the school should improve

  • The checking of what pupils remember and can do is not yet developed in a small number of subjects. This means staff lack detailed understanding about what pupils remember over time. The school must identify what pupils should learn and remember in all subjects, support staff to check what pupils have learned and use this information to inform their future teaching.
