What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils, including children in the early years, enjoy coming to school and are excited about their learning. They described the school as amazing, fun and friendly. Staff know pupils and their families well. Pupils feel cared for and valued because leaders provide a warm and nurturing environment. Leaders' high expectations for pupils' behaviour are clearly communicated. Pupils are aware that actions have consequences. They know that good behaviour is recognised and celebrated by staff. As a result, pupils follow school routines and behave well. Leaders encourage pupils to act as courageous advocates in school. Pupils develop as active citizens through their work with international schools. Pupils feel safe in school. They know who to speak with if they are worried or upset. If bullying should occur, it is dealt with swiftly and effectively by leaders. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils, including children in the Reception class, enjoy an ambitious and aspirational curriculum which provides challenge and encourages resilience. Pupils relish the extensive opportunities to develop their leadership potential. They take part in a range of extra-curricular activities, including pottery club, arts and crafts club and football.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school as regularly as they should. This means that they are not accessing the full curriculum and missing out on learning. This hinders their achievement. Leaders should continue to ensure that all pupils, including those with SEND and those who are disadvantaged, attend school regularly.
