What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
Pupils, families and staff are proud to be a part of this caring and inclusive school community. Pupils readily demonstrate the school motto of being 'proud to shine'. Leaders know pupils and families well. They have high aspirations for what pupils can achieve. Staff expect pupils to work hard and do their best. Pupils are enthusiastic about their lessons, and this is reflected in the way that they are keen to learn and remember more across subjects. Pupils achieve well. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour, both in and out of the classroom. Pupils meet these expectations well. Behaviour is calm and disruption to learning is rare. Pupils are very polite, considerate of others, and develop close friendships with one another. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that if it did happen, adults would deal with it. Pupils are happy to come to school and are kept safe. Pupils appreciate the broad selection of after-school clubs that are available. These include gardening, police cadets, and drama. Pupils also enjoy regular educational trips and residential visits. They especially value having the chance to make a positive difference to school life, such as being a sports crew ambassador, or representing their class on the school council.
What the school should improve
- Some teaching does not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to recap key vocabulary in a subject. This means that pupils' understanding and recall of these words are less secure. Leaders should ensure that pupils are given sufficient time and opportunities to learn the key vocabulary in each subject so that it sticks in their long- term memory.
