What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Pupils like coming to this school because it is a happy place where everyone gets on and where they feel safe. They say that staff are kind and set a good example to them. They feel listened to. Everyone upholds the school values, such as integrity and empathy. Pupils are proud to describe how these are part of the school's 'I ASPIRE' values that are the heart of the school's culture. Pupils find lessons interesting, and appreciate how teachers help everyone to learn. Staff help the many pupils who enter the school needing to catch up with their education. They provide effective support to pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils quickly learn to read fluently and become confident in mathematics and science. Lessons flow smoothly because pupils behave well. They pay attention and try hard. Expectations are high, and pupils achieve well. Breaktimes and lunchtimes are friendly and fun. Here, pupils love learning with the visiting basketballers, or joining school clubs such as hockey and gymnastics. The Wombles visit the school to show pupils how to keep the school tidy. Pupils go on exciting trips to places, including a learning and activity centre in Wales.
What the school should improve
- Pupils currently have very few opportunities to write in an extended form across the curriculum. This limits their ability to explain and express themselves in detail in subjects such as science, history and geography. Leaders should ensure that staff provide regular occasions and guidance for them to draft, compose and refine longer pieces of writing in different subjects.
