What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 April 2023
Pupils are happy at this welcoming school. They benefit from positive relationships with each other and with staff. Pupils told the inspector that they trust that staff will help them if they have any concerns or worries. This helps to make them feel safe at school. Leaders have effective systems in place to identify bullying. If bullying should happen, leaders deal with it quickly. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to be successful both academically and to develop as well-rounded individuals. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in many subjects. Pupils benefit from a range of leadership responsibilities in the school. For example, older pupils take pride in being reading ambassadors. They encourage younger pupils to read for pleasure. Members of the school council organise fundraising activities that benefit local and international charities. These opportunities help to develop pupils' character, including their self-confidence and empathy. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Many pupils are keen to live up to these expectations. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils strive to embody the school mission statement of respecting everybody in their community.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, leaders have not fully considered how some of the key knowledge that pupils learn builds on what they have already been taught. Consequently, pupils do not deepen some of their subject knowledge as well as they should. In these subjects, leaders should ensure that the curriculum builds securely on what pupils already know and can do.
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not assured themselves that the curriculum is being delivered as intended. Some teachers do not teach all of the specific knowledge set out in the curriculum as specified by leaders. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that teachers follow their guidance to teach the essential knowledge in the curriculum as intended.
