What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend regularly. Staff are caring and supportive of all pupils, who appreciate this. Most pupils behave well. Staff give reminders to pupils who need them. Pupils know that staff will deal with any issues that might arise and that there are people for them to talk to if they need it. Therefore, pupils feel safe. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning, and they know that staff have high expectations of them. Pupils achieve well as they move through the school. However, some pupils do not learn as well as they could because some teachers do not adapt learning as needed. Pupils have a range of leadership opportunities available to them as they move through the school. The reading ambassadors promote reading throughout the school in several ways, such as by running reading sessions at lunchtimes for younger pupils. Pupils can participate in various workshops, for example BMX biking. They are active citizens in the local community, collecting food for the local food bank and working with others to contribute ideas on how to improve the local area. These opportunities give pupils the chance to develop new skills, interests and responsibilities.
What the school should improve
- Staff have been introduced to a wide range of strategies and techniques to support pupils with SEND. However, some staff do not adapt lessons sufficiently well to meet the precise needs of a few pupils in their class. The effectiveness of these strategies and their use within the classroom have not been checked carefully enough, to see if they are having the impact that is needed This means that some pupils with SEND are not supported to learn as well as they could. The school needs to ensure that the adaptations teachers are using are effective and ensure as much progress as possible for pupils with SEND.
