What Ofsted said

The school's vision for pupils to 'love each other, doing our best to make the world a richer place' is reflected in all aspects of school life.

What the school should improve
- Curriculum leaders have not routinely checked how well their subjects are being taught. Pupils' progress through the curriculum varies from class to class. Leaders need to check the implementation of the curriculum in their subjects and provide support to staff who need it.
- Procedures for supporting some pupils, including those who speak English as an additional language and pupils with SEND, are not always clear. Some targets for pupils are too general and lack precision. This impacts some pupils' needs not being precisely met in lessons. Leaders need to ensure that there are clear procedures of support for these pupils and that staff are suitably trained so that they can support all groups of pupils effectively.
