What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are enthusiastic about their lessons and the wide range of trips and activities that bring their learning to life. These include visits to a farm, castle, theme park and local chocolate factory in Bournville. Older pupils are excited to develop their independence on a camping trip. The school wants pupils to do as well as they can and be fully involved in every aspect of school life. This includes pupils who find learning difficult and those new to learning English. The school is determined that 'no child is left behind'. It puts effective help in place for pupils who need it. This ensures that pupils achieve well. The school's values are based on its ethos, 'all different, all equal, all growing together.' Pupils learn to respect others, including those with different backgrounds and beliefs. They are concerned to help others. For example, they support victims of the Turkey earthquake and make donations to food banks. Pupils maturely take on leadership responsibilities, for example as house captains, 'happiness heroes' or reading buddies. The school provides a wide range of clubs for pupils to develop their talents and interests. These include art, French and a large number of sports. Pupils behave well most of the time and have positive attitudes to their learning. They feel safe and are confident to talk with trusted adults.
What the school should improve
- Strategies for assessment are not well established or used effectively in some subjects. As a result, there are occasions when teachers do not address misconceptions and pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the expertise to use their checks in each subject to identify next steps in learning and adjust provision.
