What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
Since opening in September 2020, leaders have created a caring school where pupils thrive. As one parent said, 'I find the school to be friendly, welcoming, supportive and inclusive.' Pupils are happy, they show a genuine compassion for one another and form positive relationships. They feel part of the school community. For example, they take on roles in the school, such as 'School Councillors' and 'Climate Change Champions'. These responsibilities give pupils a genuine voice in the running of the school. Pupils feel safe at this school. They have trusted adults, who are there to listen if they have worries. Pupils behave well during breaktimes and are keen to involve others in their play. When bullying happens, leaders act quickly to stop this from escalating. Staff have high ambition for pupils and they bring the curriculum to life. For example, they encourage parents and members of the local community to support learning in school. Pupils learn about the importance of charitable giving and sportsmanship. They develop their interests and talents well. Pupils attend a wide range of clubs on offer at the school. As a result, most pupils learn across all subjects well.
What the school should improve
- While leaders have provided helpful training and resources to support teachers in the adaptations needed for pupils with SEND, these are not consistently implemented in some subjects. This means that some pupils with SEND do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to carefully check that teachers routinely implement the adaptations needed, so that pupils with SEND achieve well in all subjects.
