What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Staff greet pupils with a friendly 'good morning' each day. This helps everyone to get off to a good start. Pupils enjoy 'happy lunchtimes'. It is a friendly and harmonious opportunity for pupils to relax with friends or use the play equipment. It is a time to enjoy a well-deserved break. Pupils know if they have a worry or concern they can put it in the 'worry box'. They know that a member of staff will read it. They are confident that a member of staff will help. One pupil said, 'Teachers are around to sort things out.' In lessons, pupils behave well. They listen to the adults. They enjoy their learning. They know it is important. One girl said: 'Maths helps you in lots of subjects. It will help me become a pilot.' Pupils are mature for their age and thoughtful. They learn from one another. The vast majority of parents who responded to the survey were positive about the school. One parent, whose comment was typical of many, said: 'Children love it here.'
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not prioritised the key knowledge that pupils need to learn in a couple of subjects. As a result, the curriculum in these subjects does not always build on what pupils already know. Leaders need to identify the important knowledge that pupils should learn across all subjects. They must ensure that the curriculum builds appropriately on pupils' previous learning.
- Teachers do not always consider as well as they could the needs of pupils with SEND when planning the curriculum. When this is the case, pupils do not always get the support they need to help them learn. Leaders must make sure that teachers consistently adapt the curriculum effectively, to meet pupils' needs so that all pupils get the help they need to learn well in all areas of the curriculum.
