What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 September 2022
Pupils enjoy being a part of their friendly school community. They welcome everyone to their school, greeting adults and friends with a happy 'good morning'. Leaders and staff want the best for every pupil and build trusting relationships with them. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. One parent said that leaders and teachers are caring and 'put the children first in everything they do'. As the school's educational vision states, this is a school that 'strives for excellence, values effort and celebrates achievement'. Leaders and teachers have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and work hard in lessons. Pupils know that teachers want them to succeed, and they try hard to rise to this. The school's values of respect, friendship, resilience, teamwork, kindness and love are at the heart of everything it does. Pupils can explain why these values are important to school life. During playtimes, pupils are kind to each other and include friends in their games. Bullying hardly ever happens at this school. However, when there is an incident of bullying, teachers take it seriously and deal with the situation quickly.
What the school should improve
- Not all teachers adapt the curriculum so that it meets the needs of all pupils closely enough. In a few subjects, some pupils are not given the support they need to progress through the planned curriculum. Leaders must ensure that the curriculum is sufficiently adapted to enable all pupils to achieve well from their different starting points. In addition, leaders should check that the curriculum routinely provides opportunities for pupils to deepen and embed their understanding in all subjects.
