What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and do well at this school. Leaders and staff are ambitious for pupils. Pupils value the range of opportunities available to them. The many after-school clubs, such as sport, wind bands and orchestra, help to develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils respond well to leaders' high expectations. Pupils of all ages take on roles of responsibility. Pupils say that behaviour is good and that bullying rarely happens. Teachers sort out any problems if pupils fall out with each other. Pupils know the school rules and the consequences of rule-breaking. Pupils treat each other with respect and kindness. Pupils are happy and safe. They celebrate difference and enjoy cultural links with other countries, including Kenya. Pupils are welcomed and included regardless of their background or the different times of the year when they join the school. Parents and carers are supportive of the school. One comment typical of many was, 'the best thing about the school is that they always have the children's well-being as a priority'.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum does not include sufficient detail about the knowledge that pupils should learn. This means that pupils do not build a secure understanding of the subject and are unable to apply knowledge to more complex concepts. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects includes sufficient detail about what pupils are expected to know.
