What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 May 2023
This is an extremely inclusive and welcoming school. Pupils get on well with each other. They are caring and kind. They enjoy positive relationships with staff. Staff hold pupils' interests at the heart of all that they do. Pupils know that staff care for them and they appreciate this. Pupils 'LOVE' (live our values every day) the school's values and endeavour to demonstrate them in their daily lives, both at school and at home. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership roles. They can stand to be elected as a school captain or member of the school parliament. Others take on roles such as digital leaders. Pupils feel listened to. Pupils know that they make a positive contribution to the school and wider community. The school offers a wide range of extra-curricular activities, including sports and music. These enhance the daily curriculum and ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy a wide range of experiences. Pupils enjoy playing with friends in the school's well-resourced playground. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and what they can achieve. Pupils are keen to meet these expectations. Most pupils enjoy coming to school. A small number of pupils do not attend regularly and miss out on the range of opportunities the school provides.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not fully developed in all subjects. Teachers do not always identify pupils' misconceptions. Leaders should develop assessment in foundation subjects to ensure that pupils' understanding is secure before moving on to the next stage in their learning.
- Some pupils, particularly those with SEND, are persistently absent. Leaders should continue to work with families to support them to overcome barriers to attending regularly, so that pupils do not miss out on all that the school offers.
