What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2023
Pupils at this school embody the school's core values which include resilience, kindness and respect. The school's vision of 'working together to be the best we can be' shines through in the positive attitudes of pupils and staff. Pupils are happy, inquisitive and friendly. They feel safe at the school. Parents agree that pupils are safe. Pupils understand that the well-trained staff will do all they can to keep all members of the school 'family' as safe as possible. Leaders create an environment of high expectations for behaviour and achievement. These high expectations are realised through a positive atmosphere for learning. Pupils achieve well and behave well at this school. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff and pupils demonstrate a tangible sense of pride to be part of the school community. Attendance rates are high. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that staff would deal with any bullying quickly and effectively should it occur. The work that the school does to promote pupils' personal development is exceptional. One governor summed up the school's approach by saying, 'We set pupils up to be their best selves, to be proud of who they are and to be good human beings.'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the implementation of the curriculum is not as well established as it is in others. This means that pupils' acquisition of knowledge and skills is variable across the curriculum subjects. The school should ensure that all curriculum subjects are fully implemented and embedded so that pupils' acquisition of knowledge and skills is consistent in all subjects.
