What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 September 2022

The school's motto 'enjoy learning, enjoy life' is certainly true, and is expressed in the way the pupils talk about their school. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and their love of reading is infectious. The curriculum is designed to enable all pupils to achieve well. Parents particularly value the way leaders keep them informed and how they work supportively alongside them. Adults have high expectations for both pupils' learning and their behaviour. Pupils rise to these expectations. They want to be successful. Pupils show positive attitudes to learning. They behave well in class and around the school. Pupils are confident that staff listen to them when they have concerns. They say incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils know that staff would deal with such incidents quickly should they occur. Pupils develop positive relationships with staff and each other. Several pupils commented that the best thing about school are their teachers. They appreciate the wide range of opportunities leaders provide for their personal development. Parents comment that teachers and teaching assistants are friendly and nurturing. Support is provided across every aspect of schooling. Through assemblies and lessons, pupils are taught about the importance of their mental health and how to stay happy.

What the school should improve

• In a few subjects, learning is not designed well enough to deepen pupils' understanding of key concepts and ideas. As a result, some pupils' knowledge is less well developed. Leaders need to ensure that learning is designed effectively in all subjects to enable all pupils to further develop their knowledge.
