What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils feel happy and are safe at school. They are proud of their school and there are strong relationships of trust between pupils and staff. The school has high expectations of its pupils who do what they can to be the best versions of themselves. Staff have created a calm and positive atmosphere in classrooms. This helps to give pupils the confidence to try their hardest. Many pupils who spoke to the inspector understood that, as was stated in an assembly, 'nobody learns without getting it wrong'. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are well supported in the classroom. Pupils behave well at this school. They know and understand the importance of the school values of 'curiosity, collaboration, respect, resilience and kindness'. At social times, pupils of different year groups mix well and play safely together. They recognise that people are different. Pupils treat everyone with the same levels of respect and kindness. Pupils enjoy a range of opportunities outside of the classroom. Throughout the school year, there are numerous musical events that pupils take part in. Pupils appreciate special events held in school and visits to places of interest. Older pupils especially value the leadership opportunities they can apply for.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum for some foundation subjects does not fully meet the learning needs of all pupils. As a result, some pupils are not making the progress they are capable of. The school should further develop the curriculum in these subjects to ensure that the work is suitably adapted to meet the learning needs of all pupils.
- Some staff are not as confident as others in teaching the full curriculum. Because of this, pupils are not achieving as well as expected. The school should take steps to further improve the consistency of teaching and develop the knowledge of all staff to deliver the full curriculum.
