What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 April 2024
The school is an inviting and inclusive environment. Pupils and staff enjoy being part of the harmonious school community. Pupils are polite and welcoming to visitors. Relationships between adults and pupils are grounded in respect. Pupils attend school regularly. They enjoy learning and playing in the company of their peers. In lessons, pupils are attentive and work hard. At social times, they enjoy playing games with friends or using the range of equipment available to them. Adults model how to join in with games and activities as well as modelling positive behaviours for pupils. Pupils respond well to this and reflect these positive examples in their own interactions. The school has undergone a period of change since the previous inspection. A number of staff, including leaders, are new to school or have changed roles. Following a period of transition, the school is a stable environment for pupils. Staff have high aspirations for pupils' achievement. Typically, pupils achieve well in the school. In areas where this is less true, the school are taking appropriate steps to strengthen the provision that pupils receive.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not as carefully structured as it is in the school's strongest subjects. Disciplinary knowledge is not consistently well integrated. Assessment of what pupils know and remember over time is not consistently closely matched to the curriculum in these subjects. This limits how well pupils learn these curriculums. The school should ensure that the curriculum is precisely defined in each subject.
