What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
Pupils enjoy learning at this inclusive school. The school has designed an ambitious curriculum that allows pupils to achieve increasingly well. Teachers adapt their teaching to ensure that all pupils can access the curriculum, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In lessons, pupils are enthusiastic about their learning, and instances of low-level behaviour are very rare. The school sets and achieves high expectations for behaviour. Staff explain these expectations clearly to pupils, and staff model the behaviour they expect to see. As a result, pupils understand how to behave well so that they can learn and play as part of a happy and respectful school community. Pupils are safe here. Bullying is very rare. Pupils know that if they have concerns about feeling safe, they can tell an adult. Pupils know that adults will take their concerns seriously and act upon them. Pupils enjoy a wide range of activities and clubs at lunchtimes and after school. The school checks carefully that all pupils, especially those with SEND and those eligible for the pupil premium, benefit from these opportunities.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils are not always able to remember long term the content they have learned. This means that they do not always build links between prior learning and new learning. The school should ensure that pupils are taught strategies to retain knowledge over time and that the curriculum is designed to support this effectively.
