What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
This is a school where pupils are encouraged to be the very best they can be. Pupils are extremely kind to each other. They behave incredibly well in lessons and when moving around the school. Pupils focus well during learning time and are highly motivated. Respectful relationships between pupils and staff permeate the school. Pupils know that staff will make time to talk to them if they have a worry. This means they feel happy and safe. Leaders provide many opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. This includes acting as school councillors, reading buddies, digital leaders and sports leaders. Pupils are proud to support their classmates. For example, digital leaders deliver assemblies on e-safety to pupils across the school. They share the importance of considering their digital footprint. Leaders value pupils' opinions. They provide opportunities for pupils to debate and consider the views of others. For example, pupils debate different views of humanism and the meaning of life. These experiences help pupils to develop their own ideas and share their opinions. Leaders provide a wide range of clubs, including, gardening, photography and French. These activities enable pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, pupils struggle to remember key knowledge and vocabulary that they have been taught. This means they have gaps in their learning and cannot apply what they have been taught to their current learning. Leaders should ensure that there are effective strategies in place to check what pupils know and remember from previous learning. Teachers should ensure that they check pupils are remembering key knowledge and skills so that any gaps can be addressed and misconceptions corrected.
