What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This is a small school that is more than the sum of its parts. Pupils are happy and safe because staff prioritise pupils' physical and mental well-being. Pupils take care of each other. Peer mentors make sure no one is lonely. Pupils can always turn to an adult if they have a concern. Pupils behave exceptionally well, and most pupils learn much because of their teachers' high expectations. Pupils bubble with enthusiasm in lessons. They are eager to learn. Pupils love to share their knowledge. They answer their teachers' questions with confidence. When they make a mistake, they try again. Pupils discuss their ideas with each other. This helps them to tackle more complex tasks. The school provides pupils with many opportunities to contribute to the life of the school. Older pupils help younger pupils to read better. School councillors represent their friends' views. They visit the Houses of Parliament. As a result, pupils understand their rights and acknowledge their responsibilities. Pupils help out at sporting events. Pupils take the initiative and run clubs for their friends. They raise money for charities and speak at Remembrance Services. These experiences enable pupils to gain leadership skills and prepare them well for their future lives.
What the school should improve
- Some learning activities do not enable pupils to achieve the ambitious curriculum aims. As a result of this, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school must ensure that learning activities enable pupils to realise the high expectations within the curriculum.
- Some teachers do not systematically identify misconceptions and errors in written work. As a result of this, some pupils continue to make the same mistakes and misunderstanding may persist. The school must ensure that teachers systematically check learning and that pupils are provided with next steps to help them to learn better.
