What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils enjoy school. They, and their parents and carers, appreciate the recent improvements made to all aspects of the school. Pupils said that teaching is now much clearer and focused. The school is highly ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Most pupils who are currently at the school achieve well. There are strong relationships between pupils and staff. This gives a real community feel to this school. Pupils feel safe and happy. Pupils appreciate the guidance and support that they receive from their friends and teachers. Teachers have high expectations for behaviour. Pupils behave well. Classrooms are calm. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They speak confidently and articulately with visitors. Pupils have an understanding of diversity and fundamental British values. They revel in their responsibilities, for example as members of the school council. Opportunities outside the curriculum are varied and include sports and music. Day and residential visits add to the pupils' wider development. A typical comment from parents describes the school as 'fostering an environment where each child can excel and grow as a person'.
What the school should improve
- Improvements to the curriculum in a few subjects are in the early stages of implementation. This means that teaching in these subjects is sometimes not precise enough and pupils' knowledge is not as secure as leaders would wish. The school should sharpen aspects of teaching, which will address gaps in pupils' knowledge and help pupils to know more and remember more over time.
