What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2022
Pupils are very proud of the school. They enjoy being in school, play well together and no one is left out. Pupils are polite, well-mannered and respectful. Pupils have great confidence and trust in staff. One pupil spoke for many when they said that 'staff are exceptionally understanding, support them and always want the best for pupils.' Pupils feel safe in school. Bullying is very rare and is not tolerated. Pupils know that they will be listened to if they have any worries or concerns and know staff will resolve issues quickly. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils, including disadvantaged pupils and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have a desire to do well and know what is expected of them because of good promotion of the school's values. Pupils are kind and respect each other. They understand that people should be treated equally. When learning is challenging, they persevere and enjoy helping each other to succeed. Pupils strive to achieve rewards such as yellow and white ribbons for good work and contributing to school life. Most parents and carers are very positive about the school. They recognise the care and attention given to their children. A small number of parents have some concerns. These are around flux in leadership and staffing.
What the school should improve
- The school has gone through flux in leadership and staffing this year. This has resulted in some leaders having their workload increased. These leaders have wide-ranging subject responsibilities and other key leadership roles. Leaders should take effective steps to ease the burden of subject leaders in the school.
- Subject leaders have introduced a new system for assessment in the foundation subjects. The cycle of assessment is not yet complete. As a result, leaders are not clear how well assessment is being used to improve pupils' knowledge in the foundation subjects, or to develop the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that assessment in the foundation subjects is being used consistently and effectively by teachers.
