What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2023
This is a welcoming school where everyone is valued. Pupils are friendly and keen to articulate their ideas. They know that their opinions are respected. Pupils are proud to uphold the school values of being creative, collaborative, resilient, proactive and reflective. The curriculum design means pupils enjoy learning. They enthusiastically talk about what they have learned in lessons. There is a calm atmosphere within school. Expectations for the way pupils will behave are high. The pupils know this and rise to these expectations. This extends on to the playground, where pupils happily play together. They demonstrate kindness and care for each other and know that any rough play is not acceptable. Incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils are rightly confident that any issues will be dealt with by staff. They can identify a trusted adult in school to talk to if they have any worries. This helps them to feel safe. Older pupils take their prefect job seriously. They know that any visitors should be wearing a lanyard to enter their school. Pupils are proud to represent their school through their roles and during tournaments. They enjoy the variety of events and activities they are part of. This includes earning beads during the school's Real Earth Force week, which links to the school's vision of looking after the environment.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the way key curriculum content is covered. Sometimes, staff do not select the most appropriate methods to ensure that pupils learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. Leaders must continue to develop staff subject knowledge to support their pedagogical choices.
- There are minor inconsistencies in the implementation of adaptations for some pupils with SEND. This means that a few pupils are not engaging with the curriculum as strongly as they could. Leaders need to continue to refine provision for pupils with SEND.
