What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 July 2022
Pupils are happy, confident individuals who enjoy coming to school. Pupils behave impeccably and demonstrate consistently positive attitudes and commitment to their learning. Pupils are safe as leaders have created a secure and trusting environment. Pupils are confident to talk about anything that worries them. They said that adults resolve any concerns they might have. This includes any incidents of bullying, which staff deal with effectively. Pupils can attend many activities that extend their interests. These range, for example, from sports and music to cookery and sewing. Pupils are encouraged to play an active part in their community. Each class carries out a yearly 'activism' project. These include working with the local council on a cleaner air initiative and with school meal providers to offer a 'meat-free Monday'. Pupils talk passionately about supporting local food banks and homeless shelters. They enjoyed redesigning the community garden. Teachers have high expectations of pupils. As a result, pupils produce work of a good quality. The curriculum in most subjects is ambitious and well designed to help pupils learn important ideas and vocabulary. However, in a few subjects, this is less well developed.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, for example music and Spanish, leaders have not planned the curriculum well enough. This means that pupils do not learn as effectively in these subjects as they do in the rest of the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that they fully identify the important knowledge that pupils need to secure. They should sequence this logically so that teachers can support pupils to build their understanding and remember more over time.
