What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils love coming to this inclusive school. Pupils are respectful, well-mannered and polite. This has not happened by accident. Staff model respectful and positive relationships. Pupils are a credit to the school. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils work hard, and many say that they enjoy learning. Pupils are taught about their feelings, and about ways to recognise and manage these independently. Pupils behave well. The school's outdoor areas are well equipped and maintained. There is careful consideration of the activities planned for the 'happy lunchtime' sessions. These include sports, craft, hopscotch and music, which plays every day. This provides pupils with many opportunities to develop their physical and mental health and well- being. Pupils can take on roles of responsibility, such as being a member of the school council. They are proud of the playground markings they planned and organised. They spoke about how the school is 'even better now due to the school council work'. Parents and carers praise the education and care their children receive. A typical comment was, 'My children are happy at this school and the teaching staff support their personal and academic growth.' There is a real ethos of care for everyone in this inclusive school.
What the school should improve
- Some aspects of the curriculum need further refinement. The use of formative assessment needs developing to ensure that it consistently identifies gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge. The school also needs to make sure that teachers ensure that activities and the work given to pupils are effective in enabling the content to be understood and learned. This will enable all pupils to have the opportunity to progress well through the curriculum.
