What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Pupils enjoy attending this nurturing school where there is a strong sense of community. Pupils are happy and kept safe. They know that there are adults they can talk to if they have any worries. Pupils have confidence that staff will listen to them and sort things out when needed. The school has developed a positive culture and ethos that emphasises respect. Pupils follow well-established rules and routines and as a result, behaviour around the school and in lessons is exemplary. Parents and carers are also positive about the caring and kind environment the school promotes. Staff set high expectations and pupils consistently rise to meet them. Leaders ensure that pupils access a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils enjoy being taught new things and take pride in their work. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in their learning across the curriculum. Leaders have planned many opportunities to enrich the curriculum. Pupils enjoy taking part in clubs, educational visits and wider opportunities such as subject masterclasses at a local secondary school. The school council and religious education chaplains play a key part in the life of the school. As well as regular collective worship, they also led assemblies during Black History Month.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the school has not clearly identified the most important subject- specific knowledge and skills that pupils need to know and remember. This means that in these instances, the opportunities for pupils to revisit and practise curriculum content are not consistently coherent. This limits the depth of knowledge some pupils secure. The school needs to identify and sequence the most important knowledge in each subject so that pupils revisit and build on their knowledge and skills over time.
