What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils said that they are happy and feel safe at school. They enjoy the broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils are encouraged to read often and for pleasure. They are surrounded by books in every classroom. They are enthusiastic about the range of opportunities to learn outside the classroom, including through trips to local landmarks. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles for different aspects of school life. Reading ambassadors interview their teachers to find out about favourite books and publish this in a reading newsletter. Lunchtime sports ambassadors organise lunchtime games. There are high expectations of pupils' behaviour, conduct and character. Pupils understand the school's values and that they are expected to be 'respectful, responsible and ready to learn'. Pupils take responsibility for creating a welcoming school. They create their own class charters and promote kindness, honesty and self-belief. They are provided with a rich range of opportunities to help them to consider the importance of equality and diversity. Pupils enjoy the weekly picture news assemblies and understand important issues such as the impact of global warming.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not provide pupils with work that will challenge them to deepen their knowledge. The school should ensure that teachers provide pupils with work that supports them to achieve as highly as possible.
- In some foundation subjects, assessment is not as precise as in other subjects. The school should ensure that it continues to develop its assessment tools to support staff to check how well pupils are progressing through the intended curriculum and use this information to inform and adapt teaching.
