What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils enjoy coming here. They learn how to show respect for one another by being polite, welcoming and helpful. This helps to ensure that the school is a friendly and calm place to learn and make friends. Staff are caring and get to know pupils well. Pupils feel safe and listened to. High expectations are embedded across all aspects of school life. Pupils achieve well, particularly in early reading. In every subject, pupils grow in confidence. They benefit from a well-sequenced curriculum and staff's commitment to helping them remember important knowledge and skills. Behaviour is calm and orderly. Pupils understand the school's rules and routines. This helps to keep lesson disruption to a minimum. Pupils feel motivated by praise and rewards. This includes earning points for their house teams. Pupils can get involved in a range of interesting activities, such as the graphic novel club and the choir. Helping pupils to discover and embrace empathy is a big part of the school's personal development offer. Pupils learn how to respect differences and celebrate diversity. They become more open-minded and understanding of the world around them. Pupils also take on a range of responsibilities, such as becoming a 'reading champion'.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not always use the information from checks on learning to inform their teaching. As a result, pupils occasionally miss out on opportunities to revisit knowledge or deepen their understanding. The school should ensure that teachers further develop their teaching strategies in these subjects so that pupils, including pupils with SEND, can learn more and remember more.
