What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 March 2023

Pupils are happy and safe at this inclusive school. Leaders have a strong commitment to pupils, families and the community. Pupils know that everyone is different, and they respect people's individuality. All staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Behaviour in lessons, and particularly at playtimes, is calm and orderly. Pupils are tolerant and welcoming. They are polite and hold doors open for others. Bullying is extremely rare, and pupils say that adults would always stop it straight away if it did happen. Leaders have ensured that there are many opportunities for pupils to participate in extra-curricular activities. There is a number of clubs and sporting opportunities available to all pupils. Older pupils also undertake jobs and have additional responsibilities. They appreciate these roles, which prepare them well for becoming positive and active citizens. Leaders employ a range of strategies to ensure that pupils attend school regularly. Despite this, some pupils do not attend school well enough. Consequently, some pupils are not achieving as well as they might. Pupils study a broad range of subjects as part of the curriculum. Leaders have spent time planning carefully how pupils build their knowledge and understanding over time. This is helping pupils to know and remember more.

What the school should improve

  • Teachers' use of assessment in the wider curriculum does not check pupils' understanding well enough. As a result, gaps in pupils' knowledge are not addressed. Leaders should work with staff to better check what pupils have remembered to support their learning across all subjects.
  • The curriculum does not develop pupils' understanding of aspects of British values and different faiths and cultures in sufficient depth. Leaders should enhance the curriculum to deepen pupils' knowledge in these areas and better prepare them for life in modern Britain.
  • Some pupils are not attending school regularly enough. As a result, they miss too much learning and do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders and staff should continue to work with children and their families to improve pupils' attendance.
