What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils flourish in this inclusive and caring school. Pupils feel safe and happy. Guiding principles known as the 6Rs, comprising reasoning, reflection, resilience, resourcefulness, respect and responsibility, underpin all aspects of the school, including the curriculum. Pupils can explain how they put these values into practice. Pupils are kind and supportive of each other. This includes during lessons and at breaktimes. They know that they can talk to adults in school and voice any concerns or worries they may have. The school has high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve the best possible outcomes. Over recent years, the school has raised its expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils, including those with SEND, have responded well to these aspirations. Overall, pupils behave well, showing respect and courtesy to others. Incidents of bullying are extremely rare. Parents and carers are very complimentary about the school. One comment echoed those of many, stating, 'The school provides a family-like, supportive environment for our children.' Pupils enjoy a variety of rich experiences, which broaden their horizons. Pupils can access a wide range of clubs and enjoy taking on extra roles and responsibilities.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, staff do not check that pupils have learned the intended curriculum. As a result, mistakes are missed and pupils' achievements do not always meet the aspirations of the curriculum. The school should carefully check what pupils know and understand and adapt the curriculum as a result.
