What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 June 2025
Pupils embody the six school values of curiosity, respect, determination, resilience, creativity and kindness. An atmosphere of calmness pervades the school. Pupils move around the school in an orderly manner. Since the previous inspection, the school has raised its expectations and made positive changes to improve the quality of education. As a result, outcomes for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have improved. Pupils learn and achieve well. Pupils recognise the potential dangers of the internet. They know not to share personal information online and to report any concerns to an adult. Visitors to the school help pupils learn about water safety or recognise the signs of bullying. Incidences of bullying are now rare, and pupils feel safe. Pupils develop their talents and interests through a wide range of clubs. These include running with the headteacher, cricket and netball. Volunteers from the local community support pupils to grow vegetables in the school grounds. Residential visits help pupils to build their resilience and independence. Experiences such as surfing in Newquay and sleeping with the sharks in Plymouth, broaden pupils' experiences.
What the school should improve
- At times, teaching does not identify pupils' misconceptions. This means that sometimes pupils misunderstand aspects of what they are learning. The school and trust should ensure that staff have the knowledge and expertise to address misconceptions swiftly and effectively.
