What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are eager to learn at this friendly school. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these aspirations and broadly achieve well. The curriculum reflects the local area but also encourages pupils to understand the wider world. For example, in geography pupils learn about Middlesbrough in World War Two. They also learn about a diverse range of significant people, such as Mae Jamison. As a result, pupils develop very respectful attitudes towards others. Pupils behave and conduct themselves very well. They are polite and they learn the school routines from an early age. Older pupils take on positions of responsibility such as reading buddies. All year groups are represented on the school council. Pupils form warm relationships with staff. They know that they can talk to adults about any worries or concerns that they may have. The school ensures that pupils go on exciting educational visits. Pupils discuss these enthusiastically. The residential trips are particularly popular. Many pupils attend a varied range of extra-curricular activities. The school ensures there is something for all. These include photography club, the choir and gardening. The school has also set up wheelchair basketball to enable pupils to understand how people with disabilities participate in sport.
What the school should improve
- There are, on occasion, some inconsistencies in teaching and learning. This means that not all pupils are able to learn the curriculum in the depth they should. The school should continue to improve the quality of teaching and learning to prevent any further inconsistencies in attainment at the higher standard.
