What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
The school's values of love, growth and community are central to the life of the school. Adults care for pupils. They create a warm and supportive environment where pupils feel safe. Visitors feel this nurturing atmosphere as soon as they walk through the door. The school sets high expectations for learning and behaviour. Staff reinforce these through well-established routines. Pupils including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well. They enjoy school and attend regularly. Pupils understand the school rules, rewards and consequences. They are polite and respectful. Pupils move around the school calmly and transition quickly between playtime and lessons. Staff regularly provide strong pastoral support for pupils who need it. Pupils are aware of and manage their feelings well. Parents and carers value the support that their children receive. Pupils have an exceptional understanding of British values, equality and diversity. They connect meaningfully with pupils from another school through visits, letter writing and projects like the 'Reggae' project. Through a wide range of clubs and activities, they explore their talents, such as building confidence in 'open mic mornings'. Pupils actively address local issues by writing to their MP, raising money for charity and visiting residents in sheltered housing.
What the school should improve
- The writing curriculum and the feedback pupils receive do not precisely identify how they need to be challenged to make further progress in their writing. As a result, some pupils do not deepen their knowledge over time. The school should continue to refine its writing curriculum to deliberately incorporate opportunities for pupils to develop their writing skills and make sustained progress.
- The school does not always ensure that activities are modelled effectively or concepts are explained clearly in some lessons. As a result, pupils do not always achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure it has the knowledge and expertise to deliver the curriculum as intended.
