What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy attending. Pupils say that they feel safe and know that the adults will look after them. Staff and pupils get on extremely well together and treat each other with courtesy and respect. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils and want pupils to be ambitious for themselves. Leaders have thought carefully about the curriculum in most subjects. This allows children in early years and pupils throughout the school to do well. Leaders ensure that pupils' behaviour is managed consistently and fairly across the school. In lessons and around the school site, pupils behave well. Pupils work hard and concentrate on their learning. Pupils work and play well together. School leaders take bullying very seriously. If it happens, it is dealt with effectively. A range of enrichment activities, such as after-school clubs, allow pupils to develop their talents and wider interests. Pupils have many opportunities to learn about the world beyond the school. They learn about a range of different faiths and cultures. Pupils hold many positions of responsibility. These include being a reading ambassador, or helping the staff to promote a love of, and interest in reading.
What the school should improve
- In a very small minority of subjects, the key knowledge that pupils should acquire is not identified in sufficient depth. This means that pupils do not always achieve as well as they could. Leaders need to make more clear what pupils should know in all subjects.
