What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Pupils are proud to be part of this inclusive school community. Pupils said that they enjoy coming to school every morning. They are happy at the school because their teachers are kind and they make lots of friends. Pupils who join the school at different times of the year are made to feel very welcome. Pupils feel safe because they trust adults to resolve any problems they may have. Staff deal with any occasional acts of unkindness or bullying swiftly. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and pupils behave well. Pupils are respectful to adults and to each other. At lunchtime the dining hall and playground are happy places to be, full of smiling faces. Leaders are passionate about giving all their pupils the best start in life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language. Pupils try hard to live up to these high expectations. They enjoy their lessons and progress well through the curriculum. Pupils benefit from many opportunities to enrich their learning. All year groups, including children in Nursery and Reception, visit places in the locality to broaden their learning of the arts and sciences, local history and geography, and different religious faiths.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects leaders have not defined precisely enough what they want pupils to learn. As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not learn in sufficient depth some of the building blocks essential for their future learning. Leaders should ensure that in these subjects they set out precisely what they want pupils to learn so that that pupils know and remember the most important aspects of the curriculum.
