What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
The school's vision of 'excellence for all' sets out the high expectations staff have for all pupils' achievement. On the whole, pupils live up to these expectations well. Their behaviour is exemplary in classrooms, playgrounds, assemblies and when moving around the school. Pupils understand the school rules, 'be ready, respectful and safe', and what is expected of them. They work hard in their lessons, showing high levels of determination when learning something new. Pupils love receiving an invitation to 'hot chocolate Friday' for trying their best in their lessons. Warm relationships are evident throughout the school. They contribute well to pupils' happiness and well-being. Pupils know staff listen to them and will help them with any worries. As one pupil said, 'Teachers are amazing at putting friends back together'. Pupils feel safe and valued in this school. Pupils show great care for each other and their planet. Older pupils develop their leaderships skills well by taking on roles such as well-being ambassadors and sports leaders. The eco-councillors are working on reducing energy waste in the school. Pupils are proud to take on these roles and show great commitment to improving the work of the school.
What the school should improve
- There are times when learning activities do not meet the specific needs of pupils well enough. This means that, on occasion, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should make sure that all teachers have the skills to adapt tasks more consistently for pupils' varying starting points and need.
