What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing school. Pupils, parents, carers and staff are overwhelmingly positive about the school. Caring professional relationships exist between pupils and staff. Pupils know that staff will listen and help them if they have a concern. They are happy and feel safe. Starting in the early years, the school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Staff manage any incidents consistently well. As a result, pupils behave well in a calm and orderly environment. The school wants the best for all pupils. It sets high expectations for pupils' achievement. Consequently, pupils achieve well, particularly in the core subjects. Pastoral support for pupils is effective. The school is persistent in identifying and removing barriers to learning. Pupils have a range of opportunities to develop their character. The 'Parkway pathway' ensures that pupils have a breadth of experiences during their time in school. This includes older pupils taking part in a careers fair to consider what future employment might look like for them. Pupils know staff listen to, and act on, their suggestions, for example introducing the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) after- school club. This helps pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy a wide range of clubs, trips and sporting opportunities.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school has not ensured that pupils routinely develop a depth of understanding. Activities in lessons are not consistently designed to enable pupils to explore their understanding and apply their learning. Additionally, checks of pupils' learning do not always identify gaps in knowledge or misconceptions that can then be resolved. As a result, pupils do not always develop the necessary knowledge to enable them to achieve as highly as they could. The school should ensure that teachers have the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to support pupils in their learning to achieve highly across the curriculum.
