What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
The school has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Leaders and staff have created a safe environment, where pupils can thrive. Pupils enjoy the variety of activities they can do at school. They appreciate the care and support they get from staff. Leaders and staff have high expectations. They want pupils to fulfil their potential. They provide pupils with a wide range of learning experiences. This approach helps pupils to make good progress and to develop their talent and interests. The curriculum prepares pupils well for secondary education. Pupils get on well with each other and respect adults. They behave well around the school and in lessons. Pupils are clear about what bullying is and why it is wrong. They know that staff would be quick to intervene if it happened. Pupils trust the staff and know who they can talk to if they have concerns. Leaders make sure that the school maintains strong links with the diverse community it serves. They organise workshops for parents where they can learn alongside their children. Parents appreciate how leaders and staff make them feel welcome. They value the inclusive ethos of the school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have a clear understanding of what they want the curriculum to look like in each subject. However, currently, there are inconsistencies in teaching and assessment in a few areas. Leaders need to ensure that the approaches to the curriculum, teaching and assessment that they have already designed are put in place consistently in all subjects, providing staff with support to do this where needed.
