What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
Pupils enjoy belonging to this happy school community. They are keen to come to school each day. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' achievement and behaviour. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils behave impeccably in lessons. They are keen and ready to learn. Leaders are quick to resolve any rare incidents of bullying. This helps pupils to feel safe in school. Pupils have a strong voice in the school. They embrace the many opportunities available to them to take on leadership roles, such as acting as members of the school council. Pupils who take on additional responsibilities, including 'rights respecting ambassadors', have special duties within the school community. For example, they raise awareness of matters that are important to them. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests. They take part in a wide range of school clubs, such as football, athletics and choir. Pupils' learning is enhanced by trips and visits. For example, they visit Chester to learn about the Romans. Pupils' recent trip to the beach to see the cast-iron sculptures supported them to understand the arts.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that pupils should know and remember. As a result, teachers are unsure about what should be taught and when this should happen. This leads to some key concepts not being emphasised enough. Leaders should refine their curriculum thinking so that pupils build on what they know and can do in all subjects as they move through the school.
- In a few subjects, leaders have not provided enough support for teachers to deliver the curriculum as intended. This leads to pupils not learning what they should. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders provide teachers with the professional development that they need to develop their curriculum expertise.
