What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
This is a school that is at the heart of its community. Relationships between staff, pupils, parents and carers are very strong. Every pupil is cherished and supported well to 'dream big'. There are high expectations for all pupils to achieve academically and personally. Pupils live up to these high expectations. Children get off to a very strong start in the early years, where every interaction is a learning opportunity. Pupils work hard in lessons and treat each other with the utmost of respect. They feel happy, safe and valued. Pupils relish the leadership opportunities they have. The school often acts on pupils' ideas. Pupils are enthused and thankful for the rich set of experiences that they are provided with that go beyond the expected. These experiences support pupils exceptionally well to appreciate their local community and open their eyes to the world around them. This helps pupils to be responsible citizens who contribute significantly to the school and wider community. Pupils benefit from a wide variety of extra-curricular clubs that develop their talents and interests. They are particularly proud of their sporting achievements and the opportunities they have to share their talents with others.
What the school should improve
- There is variability in the implementation of the curriculum in a small number of areas. Some teachers lack the expertise to plan activities that meet the ambitious aims of the curriculum. This means that some pupils do not have a firm enough understanding of important concepts and subject-specific vocabulary. The school should further develop staff's subject and pedagogical knowledge so that they become more expert in all the subjects they teach.
