What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Pupils, and their parents and carers, are proud to be part of this very inclusive school. Pupils are happy in the school. They said that it is a place which welcomes people of all faiths and no faith and which encourages all pupils to become their very best. Pupils feel safe because they trust adults to resolve any problems they may have. Staff deal with any occasional acts of unkindness or bullying swiftly. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and pupils behave well. Pupils said that teachers are friendly but can be strict when necessary. Pupils are polite to staff and to each other. At lunchtime, they enjoy playing on the spacious artificially grassed area. Pupils of all ages mix happily together. Leaders aim to give all their pupils the best start in life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged. Pupils enjoy lessons. Staff expect them to work hard and achieve well and they rise to these expectations. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils appreciate the great breadth of opportunities they have to enrich their learning through extra-curricular activities. Older pupils help lead some of the activities alongside staff. Leaders go to great lengths to ensure that all pupils, including those with disabilities or medical conditions, participate in sports, visits to places of local interest and school residential trips.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, checks on how well pupils build subject knowledge and understanding of key concepts over time do not give leaders or teachers enough information about pupils' learning. This means that teachers and leaders are not always clear about how well pupils are achieving in these subjects over time. Leaders should ensure that they identify gaps in pupils' learning over time so that staff can adapt future teaching to ensure that pupils achieve well.
