What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 December 2022
Pupils live out the school's values of 'honesty, kindness and respect' in all they do. They trust that adults will care for them and keep them safe. Pupils are confident to share concerns with adults, including the very rare occasions that bullying happens. Worries or concerns are well managed by adults. The school is a happy and safe place for pupils. Pupils respond well to the high expectations adults have of them. They enjoy learning the exciting and ambitious curriculum. Pupils delight in sharing their new knowledge with staff, their parents and each other. They know it is okay to be themselves. As one pupil said, 'If your friends don't like you the way you are, you need to find new friends.' They understand and celebrate differences between individuals. No matter what a pupil's background or beliefs, others treat them with kindness and respect. Pupils who are 'curriculum ambassadors' are proud to carry out their roles. They work together to identify ways in which their curriculum subject can be further improved. Ambassadors know leaders take their views and opinions seriously. They value the important role they play in further improving the curriculum for their classmates and friends across the school.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the knowledge pupils need to learn has not been precisely sequenced. This sometimes limits pupils' ability to build on what they have learned previously. Leaders should complete the work they have started to ensure the knowledge and skills that pupils are expected to learn are set out and taught in a logical order so that pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
