What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
This is a happy school where pupils are safe and listened to. Typically, parents and carers describe the school as a 'caring' place. Pupils who join the school part way through the school year are made to feel welcome by the other pupils. Pupils know that they can talk to staff if they have any concerns. The school's values of 'dedication, belief and pride' are known by everyone. They underpin all areas of the school's work. Routines support pupils' conduct and as a result, lessons are calm. Pupils know it is important to be polite. If bullying happens, then staff work with pupils to resolve any issues. The school knows pupils' individual needs well. Working relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and kind. The school has high expectations for all pupils. The curriculum is well planned and sequenced. Reading is valued by pupils and helps to support their learning in other curriculum areas. Classes are deliberately named after places in London, which fosters a sense of pride and belonging among pupils. The school arranges a wide range of educational outings for pupils, including residential journeys and visits to museums.
What the school should improve
- In the foundation subjects, sometimes learning that is set does not enable pupils to consolidate key conceptual learning. Over time, as a consequence of this, pupils' learning is less secure and detailed as the school would like it to be. The school should ensure that tasks are designed to allow pupils to fully deepen their learning, while recalling essential key knowledge that they know.
- Occasionally, teaching does not check that all pupils have understood key knowledge before pupils move on to do more complex tasks. When this happens, sometimes misconceptions can arise, and pupils are not ready or prepared to learn future content. The school must train teachers to check that the key components of learning have been fully understood before pupils move on to more complex work.
