What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
Positive and supportive relationships are at the centre of this inclusive school. This helps pupils to feel safe and be kept safe. Pupils enjoy spending time in the school garden. They show mature and respectful behaviour when looking at the wildlife, including the tadpoles and snails. Behaviour is excellent. High expectations and consistent routines mean that the school is a calm and orderly environment. Pupils are keen to take part in their learning. The curriculum is ambitious and typically helps pupils to develop a secure body of knowledge in different subjects. They produce work of good quality and are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Diversity is celebrated through the books pupils read and the activities they undertake. For example, pupils enjoyed their online conversation with Floella Benjamin as part of their work on the Windrush. They look forward to the annual cultural evening when the school community celebrates its diversity with food and entertainment. Many pupils attend a range of activities, including gardening, tag rugby, orchestra and digital art. There is an exciting programme of visits that enrich pupils' experiences. For example, a recent outing to parliament, provided an opportunity to meet with an MP to discuss food poverty. If pupils have a talent, they will find it here.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not check as carefully what pupils have learned. As a result, they do not identify and address misconceptions. This means that pupils' understanding in these areas is sometimes less secure. Leaders must ensure that teachers consistently check pupils' understanding so that they can respond to any misconceptions. This will support pupils to learn and remember more in these subjects.
