What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils show the school's values of love, honesty and respect very well. They are thoughtful and polite. Pupils are happy and positive learners. They have trusted adults they can go to if they have any worries. Pupils of all backgrounds are welcomed with open arms by everyone. Academic achievement has been declining in recent years. This is reflected in published results. Pupils have not been learning the key knowledge and skills across the curriculum that they should. Sometimes teachers have not had high enough expectations of what pupils could achieve. The school is taking appropriate and effective action to address this. Pupils want to make a difference to others. They take the opportunity to apply for and carry out leadership roles, such as 'well-being ambassadors', house captains and school councillors. Most of these roles of responsibility are reserved for older pupils which creates a genuine sense of admiration and respect from younger children within the school. The character and camaraderie demonstrated by older pupils is very strong. Parents and carers are largely positive about the school. They acknowledge the challenges the school has faced recently but appreciate the steadfast care and support given to the pupils.
What the school should improve
- The implementation of the new curriculum in many subjects is not as effective as the school wants it to be, including in English and mathematics. As a result, some pupils are not progressing as well as they should through the school's curriculum. The school should build on the work that they have already done to ensure that teachers develop pupils' knowledge effectively in all subjects.
- Processes to check the impact of the curriculum in science and the foundation subjects are not well established. As result, teachers do not know what pupils have learned in these subjects and where gaps in pupils' knowledge exist. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils have learned in science and the foundation subjects so that they know what they need to revisit.
