What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Pupils are happy to attend this welcoming and caring school. Staff greet pupils and parents and carers warmly each morning. Pupils are polite and considerate, and they treat others with kindness and respect. Pupils know and understand the school's values of relationships, resilience, responsibility and respect. These principles permeate all aspects of school life. Teachers have high expectations for all pupils' learning and behaviour, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations. They achieve well and want to be successful. Pupils show positive attitudes to learning, and they behave well in class and around the school. They work and play well together, and they encourage and support each other. Pupils are kept safe at school. Bullying is something that happens infrequently. If it does occur, leaders deal with it swiftly. Pupils comment that they can talk to any adult in the school if they are worried about something. They trust adults to sort things out if problems arise. Pupils and their parents appreciate the extensive range of clubs on offer, including dance, drama, gardening and many sports. Pupils actively contribute to the life of the school by becoming, for example, school councillors, eco-warriors or sports leaders.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum leaders have developed a carefully sequenced framework for introducing knowledge, skills and vocabulary to pupils in all subjects. Leaders have begun to check the impact of this framework on teaching and on pupils' learning. The work of leaders in this area needs to continue and develop further to ensure that all pupils have the opportunity to deepen and reflect on their learning so that they make coherent and successful progress, in all subjects, as they move through the school.
