What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2023
Pupils are proud to attend their school. They are confident and happy individuals. Pupils understand and try to live up to the school's 'learning powers'. These qualities help pupils build resilience, improve their learning and acquire other key qualities that develop strength of character. Pupils strive to do their best with their learning in response to teachers' expectations. Pupils usually respond well to staff's high expectations for behaviour. They follow the school rules and are considerate of each other and staff. This creates an environment where all pupils are safe. Pupils, generally, have good manners. They show visitors kindness, for example by asking if they are having a good day and holding doors open. Pupils learn about and understand differences. They learn how to understand and celebrate other religions and cultures. As a result, pupils show a great deal of respect for others in their actions and words. Pupils learn about healthy relationships. They also have considerable knowledge about how to stay physically healthy. Pupils have opportunities to take on extra responsibilities. They like to improve the school and help others. For instance, the eco-club members ensure that the school has recycling bins as pupils are keen to protect the environment.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, staff do not have the guidance they need to know the exact knowledge they must teach and how this links to past learning. This means that pupils do not learn all the knowledge that leaders intend. The school should ensure that teachers have the necessary guidance to enable them to plan activities and sequences of lessons that precisely identify the knowledge that pupils need to learn.
- Staff do not always identify and address pupils' misconceptions effectively. As a result, pupils remain uncertain about key aspects of the curriculum, such as writing conventions. This means that pupils persist in using misconceptions and cannot express their learning with clarity in some subjects. The school must ensure that staff identify and address misconceptions effectively in all subjects.
