What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 July 2024
Pupils strive to live the school motto of 'architects of a better world' in this highly inclusive school. This motto is clear to see in all areas of the school. Pupils benefit from the ambition that the school has for what they will achieve. Pupils enjoy learning new things and asking questions about what they are being taught. They do not give up when they learn new things. As such, they constantly strive to achieve well and do so. The school is a happy place to be. Pupils have warm and mutually respectful relationships with everyone in the school. They consistently show consideration towards each other and there is a calmness in the school. Social times are joyous because pupils love being together. They enjoy helping each other successfully take part in the various activities provided for them and pupils appreciate the fact that staff ensure they are safe while also joining in the activities. Pupils benefit from the wide range of leadership opportunities they are provided with. Whether as e-cadets, reading ambassadors or play leaders, pupils learn to be responsible and empathetic members of their community, who care deeply about their school. This is evident in how they actively encourage each other to be the best they can be.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not always use assessment well enough. Where this is the case, some pupils do not remember what they have learned before in sufficient detail. The school must ensure that teachers in all subjects assess what pupils know equally effectively.
