What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

This is a happy and inclusive school. Leaders set high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils are focused and engaged in lessons. Behaviour is excellent. Pupils are enthusiastic about their learning and, as a result, they achieve highly. This is a welcoming school. New pupils are helped to settle in quickly, and pupils are kind and helpful to one another. Pupils develop a rich understanding of the diverse cultures and faiths in their community. There are many opportunities to celebrate diversity, including the well-attended 'International Day'. Adults trust pupils with many responsibilities in the school. Pupils take great pride in the contributions they make. They enjoy taking part in school competitions and have opportunities to compete locally and nationally. Trips and clubs are carefully planned to ensure that pupils are exposed to a rich range of experiences and develop new skills and talents. Pupils are safe here. They know that adults take great care of them. Pupils look out for one another and see it as their responsibility to report concerns about themselves or others. This helps to keep the whole community safe. The school works very closely with families to ensure that they have the resources and support they need.

What the school should improve

  • In some cases, teachers do not check that pupils have understood the task before expecting them to embark on it. This means that some pupils are not able to engage with the task quickly and lose valuable learning time. The school should ensure that all staff are checking systematically that pupils are clear about what they need to do before attempting a task.
  • Sometimes, pupils do not have the prior learning they need in order to engage with their learning. This means that some pupils are using guesswork and, in some cases, this can perpetuate misconceptions. The school should ensure that activities are designed to build on knowledge that pupils have already learned and develop and extend that knowledge.
