What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
This is a school where everyone is keen to be the 'B.E.S.T' they can be. These school values underpin daily life. Pupils know how to believe, enjoy and succeed together. Everyone is welcome and included. Pupils who have joined the school after Reception, and many with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), say they settled well and feel accepted here. Parents and carers echo this warm, inclusive ethos. Pupils' attitudes to their learning are exceptional. Right from their start, pupils learn that adults have very high expectations of them. Pupils enjoy meeting these expectations. They consistently give of their best. Pupils listen respectfully to adults and one another and they take great care with their written work. The school widens pupils' experiences through its well-considered enrichment offer. Pupils have an active voice in the types of clubs on offer. The range of these is vast. The school ensures there is something for everyone. The school upholds its vision for equality by removing any barriers to pupils attending these clubs. Most pupils participate in at least one club. Disadvantaged pupils, including those with SEND, consistently benefit from these opportunities.
What the school should improve
- The work given to some pupils with SEND does not always precisely match their prior knowledge. Barriers are not always reduced for them. As a result, some work given to pupils with SEND does not support them with their learning. The school must ensure staff adapt or scaffold work in a range of ways so that pupils with SEND can secure knowledge across the curriculum.
