What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this inclusive school. They know they must be 'ready, respectful and safe'. Pupils benefit from the school's high ambitions and expectations. They enjoy learning new things and are eager to share their knowledge. Pupils now achieve much better than they did, as they now remember more of what they have been taught. Pupils behave well. The school is a happy place to be. Pupils enjoy attending and are motivated to learn. They have warm, mutually respectful relationships with everyone in the school. Staff help pupils to recognise their emotions so that they can manage them successfully. Pupils show consideration towards each other. A sense of kindness and care permeates the school. This leads to social times being harmonious because pupils take care of each other and their environment. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to take on responsibility and support each other. This helps them to develop empathy for others. For example, 'eco warriors' educate other pupils on the importance of sustainability. Pupils enjoy giving back to the school community. The school ensures that pupils who lack confidence with sports have a chance to take part in events. These include the local Panathlon, where they play games such as boccia and polybat.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check well enough what pupils know and remember. This means that gaps in pupils' learning, and any misconceptions pupils may have, are not routinely identified and addressed as swiftly as they should. The school needs to ensure that teachers check what pupils know and remember across all subjects and use this to inform future learning.
- The school has not yet fully established systems of checking how successfully pupils remember key knowledge in a few subjects. Consequently, teachers do not always have the strategies to check pupils' understanding, so there are gaps in pupils' knowledge in these subjects. The school should ensure that there are effective systems in place for checking how well pupils are remembering the most important knowledge and teachers are confident using them.
