What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
This is a happy school. Pupils enjoy attending and say that it is a fun place to be. Pupils care about one another. They play well with each other at playtime. Pupil play leaders help other pupils who want to learn new games. Pupils behave well. The school's values of 'RICHER - resilience, independence, creativity, high aspiration, exceptional, respect' successfully guide pupils in their actions. The school is keen to ensure pupils have the key skills to be successful for the future. Skills such as problem- solving and communication are woven into the curriculum. The school provides a range of opportunities to raise pupils' aspirations. Careers days increase pupils' awareness of different jobs, such as nursing, dentistry and the armed forces. There are several opportunities for pupils to help improve the school. School councillors vote on how to develop an outside space into an eco-friendlier area, creating bug hotels, planting climbing plants and developing a water feature. This gives pupils a sense of pride in their school and of responsibility towards the environment. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including the most disadvantaged and those pupils with a special educational need and/or disability (SEND). Pupils do well here.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, there is too much content for pupils to remember. Consequently, some pupils are unclear about what they are learning and develop gaps in their knowledge. The school should ensure that the curriculum is designed in a way that helps pupils build and retain knowledge over time.
- The curriculum does not have enough opportunities for pupils to explore life in multicultural Britain and develop cultural capital. This means that pupils have a limited understanding of different faiths and cultures and do not have a broad range of cultural experiences. The school should expand the range of opportunities on offer to extend pupils' awareness of different faiths and religions and to further develop their cultural capital.
