What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils are incredibly proud to be a part of this nurturing and caring school. They are confident, kind and highly articulate individuals. Older pupils, in particular, can speak with maturity and clarity about a range of different topics. Pupils value their education. They work hard in lessons and make great effort in meeting the school's high standards for their academic achievement. From the early years, pupils show kindness and consideration to others, for example by holding open doors and listening to each other politely. There is an atmosphere of happiness, calm and purpose throughout the school. Pupils relish learning from the wide range of exciting trips and visits on offer. Many pupils participate in the experiences that the school offers to help them learn beyond the academic curriculum. For example, by joining in with clubs such as calligraphy, sewing and craft. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are encouraged to represent their school in a wide range of sporting tournaments. Many do so, receiving strong support from the rest of the school. Pupils are highly respectful of others. They enjoy recognising and celebrating the diversity in their community, while sharing the common identity of being highly regarded and important members of their school.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, teaching approaches do not help pupils to connect or embed key information effectively. Consequently, a small number of pupils, particularly pupils with SEND, are not supported in securing their knowledge as well as they could. The school should develop staff's expertise so that they can effectively adapt learning to help pupils, particularly those with SEND, learn as well as they can.
- Due to the newness of many of its members, the governing body sometimes does not challenge or support the school as well as it could. This means that, on occasion, the governing body's work is not as effective as it should be. The school should ensure that new governors receive appropriate support and training to enable them to carry out their roles effectively and to gain a clear and accurate view of the school's work to ensure that it continues to improve.
