What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Pupils flourish at this inclusive school. The atmosphere is calm and purposeful and there is a well-established culture of learning. Pupils love coming to school, arriving each morning full of enthusiasm for the day ahead. Pupils strive to achieve well because of the high expectations staff have of them. Lessons are rarely disrupted by poor behaviour and relationships are respectful. Pupils are kind and care about each other. They feel happy and safe as bullying is not tolerated. Pupils know that any issues would be quickly resolved by adults. Leaders provide effective support for pupils' mental health and well-being. A recent assembly educated pupils about what it means to be a young carer. Pupils are keen to encourage and support their young carer friends, including through the young carers club. Personal development at the school is first class. Leaders' ambitious vision of 'I can, I can, I can' encourages pupils to be resilient and 'become the very best version of themselves'. Pupils talk excitedly about the wealth of opportunities they have to pursue their interests. They relish the leadership positions available to them and are encouraged to become active, responsible citizens. Pupils are proud of their school and of their work with their local MP to generate improvements to the community.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of subjects, teachers do not always check pupils' understanding carefully enough. This means that, sometimes, gaps or misunderstandings go unaddressed. Leaders should make sure that teachers routinely check pupils have retained the important learning and use this information to adjust teaching as needed.
- At times, there are inconsistencies in how well the early reading interventions are taught. This means that some pupils are not getting the support they need to become confident and fluent readers. Leaders should ensure that all staff are well trained to confidently teach all aspects of the school's phonic programme, including within individual reading sessions.
