What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 February 2024
Pupils love to learn in this highly inclusive school. They feel safe and cared for. As one pupil said, 'everyone is equal and supported here'. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from learning across a broad curriculum. The school celebrates pupils' achievements both academically and for embodying the school's values. Pupils enjoy receiving tokens for demonstrating honesty and respect to their peers. Pupils are polite and courteous and behave well. They relish taking on roles of responsibility in the school. 'Sports leaders' and 'happiness heroes' make a positive contribution to the school community and ensure that playtimes are an enjoyable experience for all. Newly purchased equipment provides pupils with fun and stimulating activities. When pupils need a quieter space, they visit the calming Centenary Garden. Weekly Values Worship is highly regarded by pupils. In these assemblies, they learn important principles, such as a respect for the rule of law. The school regularly welcomes interesting guests to speak to pupils. The fire service, who visited during the inspection, provides pupils with valuable learning about keeping safe. Thoughtfully planned trips enhance pupils' learning, such as going to Hastings when studying William the Conqueror.
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in the quality of interventions and support provided to help a small number of pupils learn to read. Consequently, these pupils do not develop into confident and fluent readers as quickly as they could. The school should ensure that staff get the training that they need to lead phonics interventions consistently well.
- In some subjects, leaders have not yet precisely identified and sequenced the detailed knowledge that they want pupils to learn. This means that teachers do not always know exactly what knowledge pupils should learn or select activities that best help build understanding. Leaders need to ensure that across all subjects learning is coherently planned and sequenced to ensure that pupils learn as much as they can.
