What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. Leaders have created a welcoming culture where pupils are kind and caring towards each other. Pupils are proud of their school and enjoy learning. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well both in and out of lessons. They know that although people have different views, it is important to show kindness and respect. Pupils have opportunities to take on responsibilities, for instance as well-being leaders, sports ambassadors and prayer leaders. Pupils organise games and activities for younger ones. Leaders make sure that pupils access a wide range of extra-curricular activities, for example through after-school activities including ballet, music, choir and street dance. Pupils take part in local visits that support their learning, including a residential visit to Dorset. They support charities in the local community through fundraising and visiting community centres. These experiences prepare pupils for the next stages of education well. Pupils know adults will listen if they have worries or concerns. Adults help to keep pupils safe and well looked after.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders' curricular thinking is not fully developed. This limits pupils' deeper subject-specific knowledge and understanding. Leaders should ensure that curriculum plans in all subjects are fully embedded so that pupils develop their knowledge and skills securely.
- Sometimes, teaching does not support the needs of a minority of pupils with SEND. This limits these pupils' access to the curriculum and their understanding of it. Leaders should support all staff so that they have the expertise to adapt learning for pupils with complex needs effectively.
