What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils contribute to, and thrive, as members of this calm school. They live by the trust's values of 'Believe you can and together we will'. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are included in all parts of school life. This helps them all to feel valued members of the school community. Pupils know that staff care for them and about their learning. Pupils learn to play and work well together. Pupils enjoy their lessons. Many say they love their family oriented school. All staff follow leaders' very high expectations for pupils. Staff apply the school's behaviour policy consistently and fairly. They ensure that positive relationships are promoted well. As a result, pupils behave very well. Bullying is rare and, if it does happen, it is dealt with effectively. Sensible adjustments are made for those with SEND. Low-level disruption is very rare. Pupils' attitudes to learning are particularly strong. Nearly all parents who responded to Ofsted Parent View, Ofsted's online questionnaire for parents, are positive about the impact of the school on their children. They rightly believe their children are safe and well looked after.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, staff subject knowledge is not strong enough. The curriculum is not implemented effectively, which hinders pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers are confident and skilled in the subjects they are delivering.
- Assessment is not always as effective as it needs to be, for example when pupils join the school other than at the normal time and when checking pupils' ability to apply their knowledge in some subjects. This slows pupils' learning. Leaders should strengthen the use of assessment so that teachers can more rapidly address gaps in pupils' learning.
