What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 October 2024
Pupils enjoy being part of this friendly and welcoming school. The school ensures that pupils behave with respect and tolerance. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive and mutually respectful. The school has developed a wide range of opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests beyond the taught curriculum. The school is a calm and purposeful learning environment, with high expectations of pupil achievement. Recently, achievement has fallen below these high expectations in some subjects. The school has taken swift and effective action to address this. As a result, pupils are achieving better in school now than some published results indicate. The school has high expectations of behaviour and makes sure that these expectations are understood clearly by staff and pupils. In the rare instances that behaviour does not meet these high expectations, adults work with pupils to make sure they understand how they should behave. For example, occasionally, there is some unkind behaviour during lunchtimes, which staff address swiftly with pupils. Pupils know that they can speak to any adult in the school about their worries. Pupils know that adults will take these worries seriously and they trust adults to help them. As a result, pupils are happy and safe here.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils' learning is not checked as carefully as it is in other subjects. This means that staff do not always know precisely what pupils need to do to improve to learn more and remember more over time. The school should ensure that staff assess pupils' learning carefully in all subjects and use these checks to inform their teaching.
