What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
Although split across two sites, the school is a friendly, close-knit and welcoming community. Relationships between staff and pupils are built on mutual respect. Pupils try to live out the school's values of being responsible, respectful, resilient, optimistic, caring and creative. Pupils learn happily in the calm and vibrant environment. They behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. Pupils feel happy and safe. They know who to turn to for support if they have any worries. Staff listen to pupils and help them to overcome difficulties. Leaders deal swiftly and well with any rare incidents of bullying. Leaders are ambitious for pupils, including children in the early years and children with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work hard to try to meet leaders' and staff's high aspirations. They achieve well. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities that leaders provide for them to contribute to school life. They diligently carry out their roles as digital leaders, playground squad members and school council representatives. At lunchtime, older pupils help out with and take good care of their younger friends. Pupils enjoy taking part in the many sporting and cultural activities that staff organise for them, such as sports competitions, outings to museums and visits to local places of worship.
What the school should improve
- While leaders have set clear expectations for what knowledge pupils need to know, there are instances when teaching does not fully support pupils to recall this knowledge securely and accurately. This reduces how well pupils are able to remember knowledge in the long term and make connections between subject content. Leaders need to continue to work on strengthening the implementation of the curriculum so that pupils are consistently well supported to remember knowledge securely and in depth.
