What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Leaders have created a supportive environment where staff and pupils feel welcome and respected. Pupils are safe and enjoy coming to school. Staff take great care to ensure that new pupils settle in well and learn the routines. Parents and carers value the additional support offered by the school and say they are given the information they need. The school is highly ambitious for pupils' learning. Leaders have reviewed and improved the curriculum, and pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. The school sets high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils know the rules and, most of the time, they follow them. Where behaviour interrupts learning, it is dealt with promptly and fairly. Pupils are motivated by the good behaviour awards and are proud to achieve them. Older pupils are encouraged to be good role models for younger pupils. Alongside their academic learning, pupils learn about their rights and what it means to be a good global citizen. They are taught how to stay safe, including online, in ways that are relevant and timely. Pupils' confidence grows as they move up the school. They know that mistakes are an important part of learning.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils do not have sufficient time to practise and consolidate their learning before moving on. This slows some pupils' progress. The school should ensure that checking is systematic and that staff have the confidence to spend more time on practising where this is needed.
- A few pupils with SEND do not have strategies to communicate their needs. This is because staff are not applying sufficient strategies used to support pupils' learning to enable their wider communication. The school should ensure that staff are trained to use augmented communication strategies so that pupils who are not able to verbalise their needs and thoughts can communicate successfully.
