What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Pupils are very proud of their warm and welcoming school. They are happy and enjoy learning. The relationships between pupils and adults are respectful and caring, which helps pupils to feel valued and safe. Pupils here are incredibly polite and well mannered. All staff have high expectations. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is highly positive. Pupils are very focused on their learning. This plays a part in enabling pupils to achieve well. On the rare occasion low-level disruption occurs, it is dealt with quickly and it does not hold others back from learning. Pupils are kind and considerate of one another. Bullying is rare and pupils trust adults to sort out any issues for them. As one pupil put it, 'Teachers here are magic [in helping us with any friendship issues].' Pupils learn about responsibility and leadership through opportunities such as being elected as a house captain or an eco-warrior. Those pupils who play a musical instrument are proud to play for the school community, as pupils enter and exit the hall for assemblies. Pupils take part in many extra-curricular activities and events, such as enterprise week and the citizenship scheme. Through these experiences, they are taught, for example, about financial skills, sportsmanship, fire safety and physical health.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is not as well embedded as it is in others. At times, this results in pupils recalling the tasks that they have completed rather than remembering the knowledge and skills identified in curriculum planning. Leaders need to continue to support teachers to implement the curriculum in a way that enables pupils to grasp and recall essential knowledge in a secure manner.
