What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Pupils enjoy school. They feel safe and know they can speak up if they have any concerns. They are keen to demonstrate the school values of respect, responsibility and resilience. Pupils know that everyone wants them to learn well and be successful. Pupils work hard and like remembering important facts. They enjoy checking their answers and making improvements. Pupils are confident and articulate because of the opportunities they have to discuss their learning in lessons and the 'time to talk' sessions. They achieve well. Most pupils behave very well in lessons. At social times, pupils play and socialise happily, supported by the pupil play leaders. Pupils conduct themselves sensibly as they move around the school. They show respect towards staff and each other. Pupils enjoy and benefit from the trips they experience as part of their learning, including a memorable visit to the botanical gardens. They enjoy testing out their resilience on residential trips. Parents and carers appreciate the different ways in which the school communicates with them. They value the support for families provided by the school, including the wraparound provision on offer before and after school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, there is not enough emphasis on the knowledge needed to become skilful learners because the focus is on recalling factual information. This means that pupils do not always see the 'how' behind their learning and how this helps them to progress. The curriculum should be implemented in a way that enables pupils to develop a stronger understanding of themselves as learners in each subject.
- The quality of teachers' checks to ascertain that pupils have understood their learning is inconsistent. As a result, sometimes the gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge go unnoticed, and teaching is not adapted to address these. The school should ensure that all teachers are confident about when and how to use different approaches to checking pupils' understanding in order to support good progress.
