What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of this nurturing and caring school community. They appreciate the warm welcome from staff at the gate each morning. Leaders and staff are highly ambitious for the achievement of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils feel safe. They said that their friends, and the staff, look after them well. Leaders support pupils' social, emotional and mental health needs effectively. They ensure that the school's vision that anything is possible is lived out on a daily basis. Classrooms are calm. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. Teachers' high expectations for behaviour are clear right from when children join the school in the Nursery class. Pupils behave well. They said that their teachers act quickly and successfully to resolve the rare instances of bullying. Pupils understand equality and diversity. They know that everyone is different and that everyone will be included in their school. Older pupils enjoy supporting others, for example as play leaders. Pupils' learning is successfully enhanced by leaders and staff through a range of trips, including a recent skiing trip to Italy, and after-school clubs.
What the school should improve
- A small number of leaders are new to their role. This impacts on the quality of guidance they can offer to staff to enhance the way the curriculum is delivered. Leaders should further develop the expertise of new leaders to enable them to lead their subjects or areas in a consistently effective way.
- Some pupils, including disadvantaged pupils, do not attend school regularly. As a result, these pupils do not benefit from all that the school offers. Leaders should continue to work closely with families to emphasise the importance of regular attendance on securing their children's well-being and academic achievement.
