What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 April 2022

Pupils simply love their school. They really look forward to their lessons and live up to leaders' high expectations. At the end of each term, pupils proudly share their learning with their parents through the school's 'Fab Finale' celebration. Pupils, including the very youngest, conduct themselves maturely and responsibly. They are excellent role models for others and wear the coveted 'Golden Thread Award' with the greatest joy. Pupils are happy and feel extremely safe. They know what to do if they are worried about something. Pupils confirm that the very rare incidents of bullying are dealt with efficiently. Pupils thoroughly enjoy the after-school clubs because they have a strong voice in deciding what's on offer. Their all-time favourites are rock steady, healthy eating, gymnastics and quidditch clubs. Pupils are especially delighted with the playground which they have designed themselves. They look forward to joining in with their friends' games on the magnificent pirate ship or using the theatre, disco and the beach areas. Pupils know how to look after their health and well-being. They practise mindfulness and are inherently alert to the impact of their actions in school and beyond.

What the school should improve

  • In a handful of foundation subjects and some areas of learning in early years, teachers move learning on too quickly. They do not carefully check and help pupils embed the essential knowledge. This means that, at times, pupils do not always learn as well as they could. Leaders should continue to provide training to develop teachers' expertise to deliver the curriculum effectively.
