What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2023
The school's motto of 'Together we can' is evident throughout the school. This is modelled by all and underpinned by the school's four values of 'pride, respect, curiosity and courage.' On the playground and in lessons, pupils show respect for one another. They play happily together at break and lunchtimes. Pupils talk positively about the three school rules of being 'ready, safe and respectful'. They articulate why these are important and know that they keep everyone safe. Most of the time, pupils rise to the expectation of following these rules. Incidents of bullying are rare, but pupils are rightly confident that adults will swiftly resolve any issues should they occur. Pupils are proud to represent their school. They do this through participation in sports tournaments as well as through their roles in school, such as eco-warriors and members of the pupil voice group. Play buddies take their role seriously. They help to support younger pupils by organising games on the playground. Leaders have carefully constructed a curriculum designed to provide pupils with experiences that they would not otherwise have. Pupils from across the school enthusiastically share what they have learned during trips and by having visitors in school. They enjoy the opportunities they have to explore different concepts and share their opinions around key themes.
What the school should improve
- Some areas of the curriculum are still being refined. In a few foundation subjects, pupils tend to remember the topic rather than the subject-specific content. Leaders need to ensure that the knowledge and skills pupils need to build in these subjects are precisely defined.
