What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 December 2024

Pupils are proud to attend this small and happy school. They feel safe and know that if they are worried about anything, there is a member of staff who will listen to them and deal with their concerns. The school has high expectations for all pupils' education and provides them with a well- constructed curriculum. This allows most pupils to achieve well. Most pupils behave sensibly in lessons. They listen to staff and to each other. The school ensures pupils develop into well-rounded individuals ready for life in modern Britain. Pupils know it is important to respect people from all cultures and backgrounds. They see diversity and tolerance as strengths of the school. The school celebrates people's differences successfully, such as through its 'international evening.' Pupils and their families show clothing and share food and music from their rich backgrounds and cultures. The school provides many enriching and exciting experiences to enhance learning. Pupils visit museums and galleries and meet with visitors to the school, for example authors during Black History Month. Pupils benefit from after-school clubs such as multi-sport events, drama, and football. Pupils are also encouraged to contribute to the life of the school. For example, they can be reading buddies and help younger pupils with their reading skills.

What the school should improve

  • Occasionally, teaching activities are not well selected to help pupils understand the key subject content that is being taught. Over time, this reduces how well pupils understand and remember knowledge. The school should support teachers in developing their expertise in selecting activities and resources that consistently match the aims of the school's curriculum.
