What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
Pupils are exceptionally happy and proud to talk about their school. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils and provide an ambitious curriculum. They place high importance on pupils understanding their community and the wider world. The school values thread through every aspect of school life. Pupils are encouraged to show their resilience and to 'bounce back' when faced with a challenge. Pupils demonstrate respectful behaviour throughout the school. They support each other with learning and they care about how their peers are feeling. Leaders provide an inclusive environment and opportunities for pupils to celebrate their own identity. Pupils are taught how to reflect on their actions and their work. Teachers and pupils share positive respectful relationships. Pupils know that if they have any worries, an adult will help them. Leaders provide pupils with a wealth of personal development opportunities. All pupils learn to play an instrument. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. Pupils are proud of the difference they make to the school community. For example, safeguarding ambassadors greet pupils at the gate with breakfast. They say that their role is 'to help people to come in with a smile'. Sports leaders teach pupils how to play games at playtimes.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils are set work that does not give them the opportunity to apply and extend their understanding of the subject content taught. When this occurs, it reduces pupils' ability to demonstrate and deepen their understanding. Leaders should support teachers to plan tasks and activities that enable pupils to fully apply and show the breadth and depth of their knowledge.
- For some pupils with SEND, adaptations to learning are, at times, not closely matched to their current needs. When this happens, pupils are set work that does not always build on their current understanding. Leaders need to ensure that adaptations to teaching enable pupils with SEND to develop their understanding of subject content progressively.
