What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
This is a school that wants pupils to flourish, and they do. Pupils are cherished. They know that they are valued and that everyone is welcome in their school. Strong relationships with staff encourage pupils to report any concerns, and pupils feel safe. Pupils achieve well. They are full of enthusiasm for their learning. In lessons, pupils focus on their work and pay careful attention to their teachers. They behave well in lessons and around the school to meet the school's high expectations for behaviour and learning. Pupils are considerate of the feelings and needs of others. Any unkind behaviour is rare and dealt with swiftly by members of staff. Pupils readily offer help and take care of one another. Pupils take up positions of responsibility with pride, through a democratic process, including the school council and learning ambassadors. The school supports pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to ensure that they can be part of this team of pupil leaders.
What the school should improve
- The school has recently implemented a new approach for supporting pupils with SEND. However, it is at the early stages of implementation and a small number of pupils are not yet receiving the support that they need. The school should carefully assess the effectiveness of these changes to ensure that all pupils with SEND receive the support they need to learn well.
