What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2023
Pupils at this school are polite and respectful. They show good manners as they go about their school day. They describe the school as a very positive environment. They say it is one in which they feel safe and happy. The pupils truly do demonstrate the school's three values of respect, honesty and perseverance. Teachers have very high expectations of pupils. Teachers encourage pupils to sit up, answer questions and 'track the speaker'. This helps pupils develop good learning behaviours which, in turn, helps them learn. Pupils are kind to each other and accepting. They know that derogatory language or bullying is not acceptable. Staff are sharp to deal with these rare incidents, if and when they occur. Pupils develop a thirst for learning. They come to school excited about the new things they will learn. There are ample opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Teachers help pupils develop to be resilient in their setbacks. As a result, pupils will often say 'It is not I can't, but it is I can't yet.' The overwhelming majority of parents and carers hold positive views about their children's experiences at the school.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the knowledge that enables pupils to develop subject-specific skills is not as precisely identified as it is in others. In these subjects, pupils do not always develop these subject-specific skills as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers know and teach the essential knowledge that leads pupils to develop subject- specific skills in all subjects.
