What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Pupils are happy and settled at this school. They told inspectors that they are proud to be part of the school's community. Pupils value the relationships that they quickly develop with their peers and with staff. In recent years, the school has taken the necessary steps to establish a culture where there are high expectations for what pupils can and should achieve. This shift has improved pupils' own aspirations for their achievement and for their future lives. For example, pupils aspire to become teachers, surgeons, scientists and police officers. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged, typically learn well. Pupils behave well during lessons and at social times. They aim to follow the school's values, for example by respecting others. Pupils understand equality issues and the importance of treating everybody fairly. In their roles as mental health champions, pupils have had training to help support and look after their peers. The school provides pupils with a variety of rich experiences. For instance, pupils recently relished a live music concert in school. They look forward to residential trips and visits, including to the church, to choral performances and to the local council chambers. Pupils enjoy participating in various after-school activities. These include sports, dance, art and gardening clubs.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not determined the important information that pupils should learn and how this knowledge should build over time. This hinders some pupils from developing a deep body of knowledge. The school should identify all the essential information that pupils should learn and when this will happen.
- At times, teachers do not select the most appropriate activities when delivering subject-specific content. This limits how well some pupils learn the intended curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers carefully choose activities that help pupils to learn as well as they should.
