What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

This school sits at the heart of the community it serves. Everyone is welcomed and celebrated here. Relationships across the school are highly respectful. The school does all it can to ensure that every pupil can be 'GREAT'. Pupils try their best to be generous, resilient, enthusiastic, aspirational and thoughtful. The school has high aspirations for all pupils' achievement and behaviour. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), those who join the school midway through the academic year and those pupils who speak English as an additional language. All pupils are supported well to be successful. Pupils work hard in their lessons and behave well in classrooms and around the school. They meet the high expectations staff have of them. Staff take bullying concerns very seriously. Incidents are dealt with robustly and resolved quickly. Pupils know what to do if they have any worries. They are happy and safe. Pupils are supported effectively to attend school regularly and to arrive on time. Pupils enjoy their responsibilities, such as being school councillors, well-being ambassadors and prefects. They appreciate the wide range of extra-curricular activities the school offers that help them build confidence and independence including karate, gardening and Languages club.

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, the school does not provide pupils with enough opportunities to deepen, and reflect on, their learning. This hinders pupils from learning the intended curriculum effectively. The school should ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to develop their knowledge and understanding so that they are fully ready for future subject content.
