What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils flourish in this welcoming and inclusive school that fosters friendship. It equips deaf and hearing pupils with the skills to become fluent British Sign Language (BSL) communicators. This shared language develops understanding between pupils. Older pupils in particular value the communication skills they acquire. The school sets high standards for pupils to learn well and succeed. Its actions demonstrate the school's vision of 'Free to Achieve'. The high quality of support that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive gives them the best chance to learn well. All pupils achieve well. Pupils behave considerately and respect each other's differences. They are happy to help their peers succeed in all aspects of school life. Pupils are confident that staff will help them swiftly should they have any concerns. Pupils are encouraged to develop new talents and interests. The school gives pupils the support they need to attend clubs, from cheerleading and choir to magic maths. Pupils carry out many varied leadership responsibilities, such as being charity champions, play leaders or part of the democratically elected school council. Pupils are responsible citizens. They take pride as 'Guardians of the Green' and make their locality a better place.
What the school should improve
- The checks that teachers make on pupils' written work in some subjects do not address correct letter formation and the spelling of important subject-specific vocabulary routinely well. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should make sure that subject leaders equip teachers to address any weaknesses in pupils' work quickly so that pupils demonstrate and use their knowledge of the curriculum confidently.
- The school has prioritised BSL and does not provide the opportunity for pupils to study a foreign language in the timetabled curriculum. This means that pupils are not well equipped for their learning in secondary school. The school should review the curriculum subjects on offer and ensure that it teaches all aspects of the foreign languages curriculum so that pupils are fully prepared for the next stage of their education.
