What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Pupils are enthusiastic about their school. They appreciate opportunities to learn different subjects and to take part in lots of interesting wider-educational activities. Pupils enjoy outings to concerts, museums and famous sporting venues that support their learning in class. Leaders make sure that there is an extensive and varied range of clubs and special events, including competitions and musical performances. The school's 'three pillars' of respect, reflection and sustainability are upheld by staff and pupils, nurturing qualities and principles. Pupils are polite and considerate. They have high expectations for themselves and each other's behaviour. Teachers are quick to spot and deal with any issues, including bullying or if there is any falling out. Pupils are safe in school. They know who to go to if they have any concerns and are confident that issues will be resolved. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils to achieve highly. They are quick to identify if any pupils need extra support so that they can make the most of their experience of school. Each week, selected pupils discuss and look through their work with teachers. This enables pupils to share their achievements and pinpoint any areas where they would like more help.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, assessment is not used to identify the key content that pupils misunderstand or have not learned securely. When this occurs, specific gaps in pupils' knowledge and misconceptions are not identified and resolved swiftly. Leaders should develop their use of assessment so that areas of the curriculum in which pupils need further support are identified specifically.
- Leaders are in the early stages of using assessment to check what pupils know and remember in each subject. This means that leaders have a limited view of the quality of the implementation and impact of their curriculum design. Leaders should develop their use of assessments to inform their further review and refinement of their curriculum and to provide them with a clear overview of pupils' learning.
