What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2023

Pupils are happy and proud to belong to this calm and welcoming school community. They enthusiastically described many things that they appreciate about school, especially the friends that they make. Pupils benefit from caring and positive relationships with staff. They told inspectors that the school is a great place for them to learn. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They understand the importance of respecting others. They said that their school is a place where everybody is welcome. Pupils know that people should not be judged for any differences that they may have. Those pupils who have recently joined the school told inspectors that they have settled quickly in school. They value the many ways in which they have been helped to feel part of the school community. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievements. Pupils understand these expectations and they work hard to learn as much as they can. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils contribute to school and to the wider community. They are proud of the leadership roles that they have, such as playground friends, school councillors, writing ambassadors and eco-councillors. Pupils enjoy gardening in the school allotment and in the community nature garden.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, strategies to check how well pupils learn do not focus on the most important knowledge that pupils need to know. This means that some pupils do not learn all the essential knowledge needed. The school should refine assessment strategies in these subjects to check that pupils learn all the information that they will need to secure future learning.
