What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils thrive in this caring and nurturing school. Compassion and kindness are at the heart of the school community. Pupils are proud to attend the school and cherish the genuine care they receive from staff. They feel safe in school and know there is always someone to talk to if they have any concerns or worries. The school sets high expectations for pupils. Consequently, they work hard and achieve well. Pupils experience an engaging curriculum that extends beyond the classroom, ensuring that they develop valuable life skills. Pupils benefit from a range of well- considered trips, visits and residentials. They raise money for charity and think about others' needs. Routines for commendable behaviour are embedded in the early years, and these high expectations remain throughout the school. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They show care and consideration towards each other. They play together enthusiastically at breaktimes, sharing equipment, playing sports and chatting with friends. Older pupils are 'buddies' to younger ones to guide them and act as good role models. Pupils are proud to take on leadership responsibilities, including their roles as representatives on the 'one world council' and librarians. The school's work supports pupils to grow into well-rounded individuals and responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- The school has rightly redeveloped the curriculum in some subjects. However, the strategies to support its effective implementation are not yet embedded enough to evaluate their impact on how well pupils are learning. The school should ensure that the changes to the curriculum are evaluated carefully and that staff continue to develop the knowledge that is needed to deliver the curriculum effectively.
