What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 April 2024
Pupils are happy at this caring and inclusive school. The school's values, such as friendship and respect, underpin the warm relationships that pupils have with each other. Pupils are thoughtful and kind. They make everyone feel welcome. Pupils behave well during lessons and at playtimes. They follow the school's rules. Pupils appreciate the praise and rewards that they receive for making the right choices. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. This includes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy learning and try their best. They typically achieve well and are ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils benefit from a wide range of trips and clubs that go beyond the academic curriculum. For example, they spoke excitedly about archery, fencing and judo, as well as city visits and residential trips. These experiences enable pupils to develop exciting new interests and find undiscovered talents. Pupils excel in their various roles. These responsibilities include house captains and sports leaders. Older pupils are proud to be special 'buddies' to children in the early years. Pupils are eager to care for their local and wider communities. They learn that they can make a positive difference by raising money for charities.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, including areas of learning in the early years, the school is still determining the precise knowledge that pupils should learn and when this should happen. Occasionally, this prevents some pupils from developing a deep and rich body of subject knowledge. The school should refine its curriculum thinking in these subjects so that staff are clear about what pupils should know and remember. School 3
- In a small number of subjects, the school is not fully effective at evaluating the delivery of the curriculum. This hinders some pupils from learning all that they should in these subjects. The school should make sure that teachers consistently deliver the curriculum as well as they should.
