What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 October 2023

Pupils enjoy being part of this nurturing and caring school community. They develop positive relationships with staff and with each other. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils to become all that they 'are meant to be'. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils feel safe. They said that their friends, and the staff, look after them well. The school supports pupils' well-being effectively, including their mental health. Older pupils enjoy looking after others, for example by helping younger pupils on the playground. Pupils have many opportunities to develop leadership skills. They are proud to act as ambassadors for the school. Classrooms are calm. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. Pupils, including children in the early years, behave well. Pupils respect the differences between people. They have a keen sense of fairness and said that everyone is included in their school. Pupils' learning is successfully enhanced through a range of trips, including to places of cultural significance and a residential visit.

What the school should improve

  • The school's checks on the delivery and impact of the curriculum are less well established in a small number of subjects. This means that, in these subjects, the school does not have a clear enough understanding of how well the curriculum is implemented and the difference that it is making to pupils' learning. The school should ensure that it has greater assurance that the curriculum is helping pupils to know and remember more over time.
