What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
Pupils are happy and proud to be part of this welcoming school. The school motto, 'love, learn and enjoy', permeates every aspect of school life. Staff know and care for pupils very well. They help all pupils to flourish. As a result, pupils are safe and achieve well. Pupils' achievements inside and outside of school are celebrated. One parent summed up the view of many parents and carers by saying, 'This is a great place for children to reach their full potential.' The curriculum is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy lessons. They are keen to learn and they try their best. They appreciate the many special things their teachers do to bring learning to life. For example, teachers provide sweets, like those mentioned in a class novel, for pupils to try. A wide range of educational experiences enhance the curriculum and pupils' broader development. These include visits to the seaside, the theatre and outdoor activity centres. Behaviour at this school is exceptional. Pupils are kind and respectful to everyone. They come from a diverse range of backgrounds and celebrate each other's differences. There is very little bullying in school. Pupils and staff do not tolerate it. Pupils follow the mantra 'see something, say something'. Staff sort out any problems pupils have, quickly and sensitively.
What the school should improve
- Assessment processes are underdeveloped in some foundation subjects. This means that gaps in pupils' learning are not identified incisively. Leaders should implement effective assessment systems across all subjects so that subject curriculums are adapted to address any gaps in pupils' learning.
