What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 March 2023

Pupils enjoy school and see it as a happy place to be. They feel respected by their peers and they value the caring approach of staff. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel included in this supportive school community. Pupils are safe at school. They respond well to the high expectations that staff set for their behaviour. Bullying, although rare, is tackled decisively by staff. Classrooms are calm and pupils focus on their work. They enjoy meeting the high standards that teachers set for their learning. Pupils achieve well in many subjects across the curriculum. Leaders have established a rich offer for pupils' wider development within the curriculum. For example, pupils in Year 5 and Year 6 enjoyed a mental health project delivered by a premier league football club. These pupils also have opportunities to develop their leadership skills, where they are encouraged to 'be the change that they want to see'.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, teachers are not clear about what key knowledge should be taught. This leads to some pupils struggling to recall some of the essential knowledge that they will need for their future learning. Leaders should make the curriculum expectations clearer in these subjects by defining the essential knowledge that they want all pupils to remember.
  • A small group of pupils are persistently absent from school. This means that they are missing out on learning all that they should. Leaders should ensure that they engage with parents more effectively to ensure that these pupils attend school regularly.
