What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 February 2023
Leaders have the highest of expectations for pupils. They have successfully and comprehensively addressed the weaknesses of the predecessor school. Leaders have united staff behind the academy's vision to 'Raise standards and transform lives.' Staff show the deepest commitment and care for pupils. Effective and engaging teaching of a well-considered curriculum has improved pupils' achievement. Pupils are increasingly well prepared for their next steps. Warm and positive relationships between staff and pupils contribute to the happy and family feel of the academy. Pupils enjoy learning. They work hard in lessons and respond to the instructions of their teachers. There is a calm and purposeful atmosphere in each classroom. Pupils strive to earn 'super swirls' by following the school rules. Pupils are not worried about bullying as it rarely happens. When it does, staff act quickly to resolve any issues. This helps pupils to feel safe. Leaders have recently established a 'family hub' to provide support for children and their families. Activities such as 'family cooking' and 'keep up with your children's English' are helping to foster positive relationships with families. Pupils play a big part in the leadership of the school. Reading leaders, mental health leaders, play leaders and the school parliament all make decisions and contribute to the school's success. Pupils feel proud of their school and their contribution to it. There are a wide variety of well-attended after-school clubs to develop pupils' talents and interests. Leaders listen to pupils' views about the clubs that they would like to take part in and make these available.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, such as science and RE, pupils do not revisit some learning often enough to help them to transfer knowledge to their long-term memory. As a result, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge in some subjects. Leaders should consider which knowledge needs to be revisited and revised to help pupils to remember what they have been taught.
