What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils are happy at this school. They enjoy the positive relationships they have with their classmates and staff. The school has high ambitions for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). There are plenty of opportunities and visits to widen pupils' learning, for example trips to the Black Country Museum and the Thinktank Science Museum. Pupils talk about these experiences with excitement. Pupils live up to the school's 'golden norms' expectations of behaviour. They treat each other with respect. Pupils talk politely and with confidence to visitors. They think about the needs of others and follow well-established school routines. Pupils feel safe at school. They know that there are adults to go to if they are worried about something. Pupils have positive attitudes to their learning. They learn a wide vocabulary and use it well. The work that pupils are given builds their knowledge over time. Pupils learn to read well and enjoy their reading. Pupils support national charities and the local food bank. They appreciate the opportunities to take an active role in school life. These include as house captains, friends against bullying ambassadors and peer mediators.
What the school should improve
- Some subject areas are not as well developed as others. This means that pupils do not achieve as well as they could in all areas of the curriculum. The school should support subject leaders to identify the component knowledge that pupils need to build their knowledge and skills sequentially.
- Support for pupils with SEND in some areas is not as effective as it should be. This reduces pupils' ability to access the full curriculum. The school should ensure that pupils receive the right level of support to complete work set in order to help them to achieve as well as they should.
- The attendance of some pupils is not high enough. This affects their academic and social development. The school needs to continue to build on its work with families so that families understand the importance of pupils attending well.
