What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are happy and safe here. Relationships between staff and pupils are positive and based on mutual respect. Staff have high expectations for all pupils' achievement, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Behaviour in lessons and around the school is calm and orderly. All staff have consistently high expectations of pupils' behaviour at all times. In the playground, pupils enjoy the large outside area. They use the equipment the school has provided for them at playtimes collaboratively and sensibly. Through the curriculum and extra-curricular activities, the trust and school leaders have made sure that all pupils access a broad range of experiences. Pupils enjoy karate, tennis and gymnastics taught as part of their physical education (PE) curriculum and clubs. Older pupils enjoy their residential trips. The school includes pupils' views considerately and considers them when making changes in the school. Pupils take their roles in the 'pupil Parliament' seriously. There is a strong sense of community feel. Every year group chooses a charity to raise money for.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching staff do not implement the ambitious aims of the curriculum in subjects consistently well. This means that pupils do not consistently develop a depth of knowledge in different subjects. The school should check that all staff implement the planned curriculum with precision and accuracy.
- On occasion, teachers do not pick up on pupils' misconceptions in their learning. As a result, pupils continue to make the same mistakes and are not fully ready for new content. The school must make sure that all teachers systematically identify pupils' misconceptions and address them in a timely manner.
