What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Pupil welfare is at the centre of every decision made by leaders. Pupils are very proud of their school and feel safe and well cared for. They trust the adults to help them if they report bullying or any worries. Breaktimes and lunchtimes are orderly because pupils know that leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Being an 'upstander' against unkindness rather than a 'bystander' is very important to pupils. They learn that this helps to create a warm inclusive culture where everyone is welcome and accepted for who they are. A wide range of leadership opportunities enables pupils to understand how they can make a meaningful contribution to society. House charity committees help raise money for their chosen charities through fundraising events such as cake sales and tombolas. Pupil librarians help maintain a well-equipped library where pupils huddle together to read or complete homework. Student council members work with leaders to ensure that all pupils have an active voice in the school. Pupils learn to be responsible and develop real pride through their achievements. House points and rewards recognise and celebrate an excellence that all pupils strive to achieve.
What the school should improve
- Some staff do not consistently check what pupils know and understand in order to then adapt learning to close gaps in pupils' knowledge. This means that some pupils are at risk of falling behind their peers. Leaders must continue to provide training and support to ensure that all teachers have the expertise to reshape learning to help all pupils achieve well.
- Leaders' recent improvements to support pupils with SEND are not yet consistently well implemented by all staff. This means that not all pupils with SEND are achieving as well as they could. Leaders must continue to embed their plans to support pupils with SEND and ensure that parents and pupils are involved in this process.
