What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
The school has high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). One parent, typical of many, said, 'The school goes the extra mile to get to know children, parents and carers. This genuine interest helps make everyone welcome and allows the pupils to feel at ease and thrive.' In class, pupils are focused on learning. Leaders encourage them to treat others with respect, build their resilience and look after their physical and mental health. Pupils are safe. They have an adult whom they can talk to if they wish. The school council is well established and plays a key part in the life of the school. For example, during democracy week, pupils are elected to leadership positions, including as cabinet member, eco-champ and equalities champ. In these roles, pupils contribute to decisions about the running of the school. Extra-curricular music provision is also a key strength. Many pupils learn to play musical instruments, and the school choirs are very popular. Pupils experience camping under canvas in Year 6 and take part in activities that include team-building and cooking outdoors.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching and resources are not as routinely well adapted for all pupils with SEND in mainstream classes. This means that some pupils with SEND in mainstream classes are not as routinely well supported as other pupils with SEND to build their curriculum knowledge over time. The school should continue to ensure that teaching and resources are routinely adapted to meet the needs of all pupils with SEND.
