What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
This school sits in the heart of the community it serves. Pupils are proud of their school. Their behaviour and attitudes to learning reflect the school's values of resilience, responsibility, respect and creativity. Older pupils know what it means to be a role model. They are proud to act as 'reading buddies' to their younger peers. As a result, pupils are polite and kind citizens. The trust and school leaders are ambitious for all pupils to succeed and achieve well. Staff know all the pupils as individuals. This means pupils feel safe and cared for. Pupils know that if they have any concerns there is an adult they can speak to. They work hard and enjoy coming to school. Pupils have the opportunity to participate in a range of clubs such as, gardening, dance and Harry Potter club. These clubs are designed for pupils to build on their interests as well as to develop new skills. Through enterprise events, pupils raise money for local charities. This helps them learn what it means to be an active member of the community. All pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are involved in all aspects of school life.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessment is not used effectively to check what pupils know and understand. This means that some pupils do not move onto more complex work when they are ready to and do not learn as well as they could. The trust should ensure that staff use assessment effectively to check what pupils know and to respond effectively so that learning is adapted suitably and pupils achieve well in the curriculum.
