What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Pupils are happy. Most pupils love their school. They say it is a 'community where everyone is heard'. They know their teachers expect them to behave and learn well. They are safe. There is always an adult to turn to if they ever have a concern. They know that teachers constantly check on their well-being. Pupils are enthusiastic about learning. They know that their teachers help them to learn as well as they can. Pupils are calm. They take turns and support each other in class. Bullying is very rare because pupils learn to treat others with respect. Should bullying occur, teachers deal with it swiftly and it stops. Pupils enjoy a range of different clubs and activities. They hone their sporting skills and compete regionally. Pupils sing, dance and perform nationally. They learn martial arts and learn other languages. Pupils are open minded and embrace difference. They 'accept all cultures'. They read books from a diverse range of authors and learn about life in other countries. Most parents are very pleased with the education their children receive. A minority of parents are less aware of how well the school provides for their children. Leaders know this.
What the school should improve
- A minority of pupils with SEND and some pupils in receipt of pupil premium have higher levels of absence than other pupils. As a result of this, they do not access the curriculum as well as they could. Leaders must work with parents to ensure that pupils attend school more consistently so that they learn better over time.
