What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 September 2023
This is a happy and inclusive school. The school's values, such as respect, perseverance and friendship, are at the forefront of its work. Pupils understand what staff expect of them. They respond positively. There is a purposeful buzz of learning throughout the school. Pupils are proud to be members of the school. They are polite, sociable and friendly. Pupils have consistently positive attitudes to learning. Pastoral support is strong. Staff form caring and supportive relationships with pupils. Older pupils act as buddies and 'stay safe' mentors. Bullying is not tolerated. Pupils know there is always someone to turn to if they have any worries. They feel safe because adults look after them and help them to resolve problems. Pupils thoroughly enjoy all that is on offer at the school. For example, they take part in residential trips and visit local natural habitats. The school helps pupils to develop their interests and talents. They enjoy gardening, cookery and archery. Some learn a musical instrument, such as the ocarina or guitar. Parents' views are overwhelmingly positive. They typically comment on the strong sense of community, dedicated staff and support for pupils with additional needs.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teaching does not routinely identify when pupils have gaps in their knowledge or are ready to move on. This hinders how well pupils learn. The school must refine assessment, and adapt the curriculum when required, so that pupils are well supported to know and remember more.
- The school's checks on the quality of education are not sufficiently well- developed. This means the school does not have a secure oversight of the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning. The school must ensure sharply focused checks consider the impact of the curriculum on pupils' learning.
