What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Pupils are happy and safe at this inclusive school. The school's mission is to 'make a difference to everyone'. Pupils embrace this goal, constantly looking out for how they can help each other. They develop a strong understanding of the school's values, such as respect and compassion. They live them out in the way they treat others. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils conduct themselves well around the school and most have positive attitudes to learning. Pupils listen carefully to each other and cooperate well when asked to reflect together. They discuss and debate ideas thoughtfully. Pupils relish contributing to school life. Many have responsibilities in the classroom or represent their peers and the school. Some pupils are 'eco-warriors', 'CREW members', or school councillors, for example. Pupils are proud to hold these positions which develop their confidence and independence. Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular activities. They speak enthusiastically about clubs and activities, such as martial arts, singing and sports. Pupils value trips and visits, such as to the local theatre and to London. The school ensures that there are no barriers to pupils participating in these opportunities.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school is still identifying the essential knowledge and skills that pupils need to know. This means that pupils do not develop the same depth of understanding as they do in most other subjects. The school should ensure that it identifies and teaches the important knowledge that pupils need in all subjects.
