What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 July 2024
Pupils at this school are friendly, happy and kind. The school has high expectations of behaviour, conduct and learning. Pupils thrive on this. They appreciate the calm, orderly environment that supports them to learn. Routines are taught effectively and even the youngest children are clear about how to achieve. The curriculum is ambitious. It has been carefully planned to engage and interest pupils. The school's qualities of resilience, creativity, independence, confidence and respect underpin the curriculum and practice in the school. Pupils know these qualities. They are proud to talk about how they impact their learning and their lives. Staff know pupils well. They treat them with kindness and care. Pupils say staff listen to them. They know staff are there to offer help if it is needed. Behaviour is exemplary both in classrooms and at other times of the day. Pupils have very positive attitudes to learning. Most pupils attend regularly. Pupils enjoy the wide range of opportunities the school gives them. This includes residential trips, visitors to the school and a multitude of playtime activities. Some parents or carers express concerns regarding some of the policies and practices in the school. The school recognises there is more to do to ensure parents fully understand the strengths of the school's curriculum and approaches.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is adapted to support pupils with SEND. This means that in some subjects, some pupils with SEND do not make the progress they should. The school should ensure that the individual support plans identify appropriate steps in learning, which match the pupils' needs and support them to make progress.
- Despite the work that has been done to involve parents in events and activities in the school, some information about policies and systems is not being shared effectively. This leads to misconceptions around important practices such as how pupils are positively supported with behaviour. The school should refine policies and processes further. This is needed to ensure that all pupils and parents understand how they are used in the school.
