What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Pupils feel cared for and valued during their time in school. They live up to leaders' high expectations for their behaviour by following the school rules and thinking of others. Pupils' positive conduct helps to create a calm and orderly learning environment. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying quickly. Pupils feel safe in school. Leaders and staff expect pupils to succeed academically. Pupils try their best and work hard. They are ready to learn. Pupils value having an adult champion in school to help them with their learning. Typically, pupils achieve well. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), take part in lunchtime and after-school clubs enthusiastically. These clubs range from multi-sports and archery to cookery and gardening. Pupils relish competing in sporting tournaments. They enjoy performing for their parents and carers at special events at school. These opportunities help pupils to develop their wider talents and interests. Pupils are happy in school. They readily take on various leadership roles, such as school councillors or reading ambassadors. Pupils are proud of the contribution that they make to their local community and wider society. For example, they raise money for national charities and support local events such as clothes swaps.
What the school should improve
- Some staff are unclear about how to deliver aspects of the revised subject curriculums. This hinders how well some pupils learn new knowledge in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that staff receive the support that they need to deliver new subject curriculums consistently well.
- In a few subjects, teachers' checks on pupils' learning do not fully identify where some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. Sometimes, pupils have insecure foundations on which to build new learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers use effective strategies to check that pupils have understood and remembered what they have been taught.
