What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 February 2024
The headteacher and staff are highly regarded by parents and carers. Parents are exceptionally positive about the school. They say that their children are safe in school and treated with great respect. Pupils' attendance at school is much better than the national average because they enjoy learning. This is a school at the heart of its community. Pupils are polite and friendly to each other and to adults. They are very welcoming and confident when speaking with visitors. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. The school is a calm and orderly environment that is well looked after. Pupils say that bullying does not happen and they are happy in school. They trust staff to resolve any difficulties they might have with others. Pupils have an exceptionally strong sense of equality. They know they must respect the rights of others and that theirs should be respected. They say, 'Human rights do not have to be earned but are the same for every person.' The school has high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Teachers plan lessons that capture pupils' interest. Pupils focus on the tasks set for them and make an excellent contribution to learning.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of foundation subjects, the school is not consistently delivering the ambitious goals that are described in the curriculum plans. This means that pupils' understanding is not extended or developed as much as it could be. The school should continue to support staff to ensure that the planning and delivery of these subjects are consistent, so that pupils are challenged to deepen their understanding equally well in all subjects.
