What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Pupils are happy coming to this welcoming and caring school. They described it as a big family. Pupils know that staff will listen to them and give them the support that they need. Pupils value the care and guidance offered by the school. The school is ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Children get off to a strong start in the early years. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They are confident and articulate when speaking with visitors. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Classrooms are calm. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. Pupils are inquisitive and display highly positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils benefit from a wide range of high-quality opportunities that enhance their learning and support their personal development. The school has made many links with a number of outside organisations to support its vision to raise pupils' aspirations. Pupils revel in their many responsibilities, including acting as subject ambassadors or members of the school council. A wide variety of visits and after-school activities enhance pupils' learning across the curriculum. Pupils spoke with pride at their recent success in a national debating competition.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school's checks on the implementation and impact of the curriculum are less well established. This means that, in these subjects, the school does not have a clear enough understanding of the difference that it is making to pupils' learning. The school should ensure that it gains greater assurance that the curriculum is implemented successfully to help pupils to secure and deepen their knowledge more over time.
