What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
The school's vibrant and upbeat atmosphere reflects its embedded school values, especially ambition. Pupils enjoy coming to this welcoming school and benefit from the warm relationships they have with staff. Confident and happy pupils are eager to learn new things alongside their friends. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour and achievement. Pupils work hard to meet these. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Playtimes are calm and cheerful occasions where pupils have fun. Pupils feel safe and well cared for because staff take the time to listen, encourage and resolve their worries. Pastoral support, including understanding why mental health is so important to learning, is a strength of the school. For example, pupils are taught thoughtfully about their emotions and feelings. Bullying or unkindness are uncommon, but staff support effectively so friendships can quickly resume. Staff go above and beyond in every aspect of school life. Pupils broaden their horizons. Leaders are keen for them to learn about life beyond their own community. Most pupils take part in a rich set of creative, sporting or cultural activities. As they get older, they develop high aspirations for the future, supported by a strong understanding of how to achieve their goals, for example as scientists or teachers.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, and in some aspects of the early years, the curriculum is not yet fully effective. This sometimes means that teachers do not consistently know what knowledge to teach or what understanding to check. As such, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should identify the precisely sequenced knowledge that pupils should know and remember.
- Leaders' work to improve attendance and reduce persistent absence is not yet fully effective. Not all pupils, therefore, benefit as well as they could from their education. Leaders must continue to take action to reduce absence and persistent absence further.
