What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are proud to attend this happy, welcoming school. They appreciate and value the support that they have from the nurturing staff, which helps them to feel safe. Pupils are confident to share their worries with a trusted adult and know that they will be listened to. Pupils behave well and develop positive relationships with each other. The school is ambitious for pupils, both personally and academically. It ensures that pupils experience a broad curriculum that prepares them well for life beyond school. Pupils achieve well in their learning, with some exceptional success in reading and mathematics. They develop confidence and high aspirations to take with them into the next stage of their education. The school develops pupils' interests and talents exceptionally well. Pupils learn to play musical instruments and take part in many varied sports. They spoke with joy about having sung in a recording studio following success in a choir competition. Pupils excitedly recalled dancing in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom and spoke with pride about performing in 'Shakey's got talent'. They attend an impressive range of clubs, including computing, cookery, salsa and languages. Key stage 2 pupils look forward to participating in their annual performance at a local theatre, attended by families and many members of the local community.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not precisely identified key knowledge that pupils should learn and the order that this should be delivered. Pupils' knowledge in these subjects does not build consistently and securely over time. The school should ensure that the essential knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is clear in each subject.
- In some subjects, the school's oversight of curriculum implementation and impact is still developing. This hinders the school from identifying effectively the areas for development of these subjects, which prevents pupils from achieving highly across the whole curriculum. The school should strengthen this work to ensure ongoing improvements to the quality of education for all.
