What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 February 2023

Pupils are proud of the diversity within their school community. They enjoy attending this welcoming school where they feel safe and happy. This is because leaders have built strong relationships with pupils and their families. Staff are determined to raise pupils' aspirations for their future lives. Pupils learn well. They are committed to demonstrating the school's values of resilience, responsibility, resourcefulness, respect and reflection. Pupils leave school well prepared for the next stage of their education. Most pupils live up to leaders' high expectations of their behaviour. They behave well in lessons and around the school site. Pupils were confident that staff deal well with any incidents of bullying should they occur. Pupils benefit from carefully designed enrichment activities, such as partnerships with local galleries, museums and universities, which strengthen the vibrant curriculum. Pupils extend their learning, for example through visits and regular contact with several authors. Pupils relish taking on leadership roles. These roles include school councillors, reading buddies, play leaders and bin warriors. Pupils have a strong sense of community and often set up charity fundraising events. They know that leaders will listen to their ideas and take their concerns about school and the wider world seriously.

What the school should improve

  • Some teachers do not address low-level disruption swiftly. From time to time, some pupils' behaviour disrupts the learning of others. Leaders should ensure that the behaviour policy is understood and applied consistently well by staff so that there are no interruptions to learning.
