What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils are happy at school. They trust adults to help them with any concerns that they may have. Pupils' behaviour is very calm and orderly. They demonstrate highly positive attitudes to learning. Pupils say bullying is rare and that if it does happen, adults sort it out quickly. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils work hard and are keen to do well. Typically, most pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils have many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. They can be on the student council, planet protectors or story sharers. Pupils enjoy taking on these responsibilities as they think that initiatives, such as protecting the environment, are important. The school offers pupils a range of activities to successfully promote their wider personal development. These include trips that link well to their subject learning, as well as residential visits for older pupils. The school also offers a wide range of clubs, such as dance and football. Pupils enjoy learning to play musical instruments and performing.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school's thinking about how pupils progress through the curriculum is not as clear as it should be. This means that sometimes staff do not give sufficient focus to the vocabulary, knowledge and skills that pupils should learn. The school should review their curriculum thinking in these subjects and refine their training for staff to help them understand how to adapt their teaching more effectively.
