What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
This is a welcoming and inclusive school. Pupils are nurtured and quickly develop their confidence. The school encourages pupils to meet setbacks head on. Pupils are inspired through their study of people as role models who embody resilience and courage. The school values are strongly embedded, and pupils celebrate difference. The school is building a strong sense of community following some significant challenges, including changes in staffing. Leaders have evaluated the education that the school provides and identified clear priorities for development effectively. This strategic approach has meant the school has taken great strides in the last year. This is a happy school where pupils enjoy coming to school and are safe. Conduct around the school is calm and respectful. Pupils are polite and well-mannered. They are quick to follow instructions and keen to do well. Older pupils contribute to the life of the school by taking on a range of leadership roles and responsibilities. Pupils follow a broad curriculum. The school has high expectations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils make positive progress through the curriculum and typically achieve in line with national outcomes.
What the school should improve
- Learning is sometimes not matched appropriately to pupils' needs and is not ambitious enough for pupils who have secured important knowledge and are ready to move on. This means that, at times, pupils do not learn the curriculum in the depth or speed they could. The school should ensure that teachers adapt their pedagogical methods as needed to stretch and challenge pupils so that they consistently receive an ambitious education.
- The school does not routinely check pupils' understanding effectively across all subjects. Sometimes, pupils do not fully understand concepts that prepare them for the more complex ideas, while others are ready to move on to more ambitious content. The school should ensure that teachers consistently check pupils' understanding is secure and use this to both address misconceptions and provide further rigour for those who are ready to move on.
