What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
This is a very happy school where pupils say they feel safe and well cared for. They say that being here means they are part of a strong community where staff set them examples of how to learn and behave. They love getting their merits and becoming the 'VIP for a day'. Pupils wear their uniform with pride. The school teaches every child how to 'let your light shine'. This means working hard to learn lots, sharing their knowledge, skills and talents with others. It also requires them to be highly respectful young people who contribute to the world as young citizens. Pupils are polite and thoughtful. Everyone supports each other. The school's moral development of pupils is a strength of the school. Pupils say that the curriculum they get is exciting. Teachers make lessons fun. Pupils love learning mathematics. They become fluent readers. They learn computer programming and study environmental regions in geography. In history, pupils find out about the Windrush generation. Music provision is of a particularly high quality, and every pupil learns an instrument - many play more than one. Pupils also enjoy the many trips they attend, such as visiting the National Space Centre.
What the school should improve
- Pupils do not receive sufficient opportunities to do extended pieces of writing or to practise editing their work. This means that although their writing skills are improving, they are not as good as they could be. The school should ensure that pupils have regular opportunities to write at length in different subjects and to refine and improve their work.
