What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 September 2023
Adults have high expectations of pupils. Pupils respond well to these. Pupils use the 'three Rs': 'ready, respectful and responsible', to guide their actions. They act maturely around the site. At social times, pupils play well together. They show respect for each other and take turns when using school equipment and playing games. Bullying and acts of unkindness are rare. Adults act promptly to resolve these incidents when they happen. In lessons, pupils are usually focused and attentive. Older pupils are positive role models for younger pupils. Leaders place importance on pupils having opportunities to develop into well-rounded individuals. Most pupils have experienced educational visits. Often, these are connected to the curriculum. For example, pupils went on a local visit to learn about aspects of Roman life when learning about this in history. Some pupils participate in extra-curricular clubs, particularly sport clubs. Opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests beyond sport are less diverse. Most pupils attend school regularly. However, some pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, do not attend often enough. These pupils do not benefit as much as their peers from the quality of education on offer to them.
What the school should improve
- The proportion of disadvantaged pupils who miss school regularly and are persistently absent is too high. These pupils miss important learning opportunities. The school should ensure that systems identify and address pupils' barriers to attendance so that these pupils attend school regularly.
- The school's oversight of some work to improve the quality of education that pupils receive is not as strong as it could be. The school does not use its evaluations of actions to inform further improvements. The school should ensure that systems to check the quality of education that pupils receive are consistently strong.
- In a minority of lessons, some activity choices are not well matched to the aims of the curriculum. They do not support pupils to learn the intended knowledge. The school should ensure that the activities pupils complete are consistently aligned with the aims of the curriculum.
