What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils are incredibly proud of their school. They feel happy and safe as they develop strong relationships with the kind and caring staff. Pupils live up to the high expectations set for their learning and behaviour and achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils behave well because they know exactly what is expected of them. They exemplify the school rules to be ready, respectful and safe. They enjoy earning house points in recognition of showing good learning behaviour. Pupils wear their lanyards with pride when they are recognised as being excellent role models to others. The school offers an extensive range of wider opportunities. Pupils have opportunities to develop their interests and talents. The school's orchestra and choir perform at community events with skill and confidence. Pupils enjoy their school trips and residentials, including the extremely popular sleepover at Romsey Abbey. The school engages well with parents and carers. Frequent communication and invitations to school events give them a clear picture about what their children are learning and how well. Feedback is overwhelmingly positive, with one parent summing up the views of many, 'This is a wonderful school with a great team who give my children all the tools they need to grow.'
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, the tasks and activities do not link with the intended learning outcome. This means that pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers design tasks that allow the curriculum aims to be achieved.
