What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils are valued and cared for at this nurturing school. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and welcoming. Pupils are proud of who they are and where they are from. Events like 'Culture Day' encourage pupils to celebrate differences and learn more about their peers. Pupils learn to consider the world around them, the needs of others and how they can make a difference. The school is committed to preparing pupils for success now and in the future. Pupils develop responsibility and organisation skills in leadership roles such as 'Prime Minister', 'prefect' or 'mission leader'. They lead fundraising and events to improve the school for all pupils. The school is ambitious for every pupil to achieve highly. Pupils understand these high expectations. They are enthusiastic to learn more, and they try hard in lessons. As such, pupils tend to achieve well while also developing a love of learning. Pupils are focused and calm in lessons and around the school. They treat each other with respect and kindness, habitually communicating politely with each other. Older pupils, and those with responsibilities, support pupils who need some extra help, such as at playtimes where pupils lead group games successfully.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes teachers' checks on pupils' learning are not as effective as they could be. Occasionally, they do not identify errors and misunderstandings so that they can then adapt the learning for pupils. This affects how well pupils develop knowledge in these instances. The school should ensure that it supports teachers, where needed, to check pupils' learning systematically and to adapt their teaching or activities appropriately so that pupils learn as well as the school intends them to.
