What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
Pupils are proud of their school and of the part they play in making it a happy and successful place to learn. They appreciate the spaces such as the new library that have been designed to incorporate their ideas and relish the many opportunities on offer to be involved in the wider life of the school. Pupils excitedly explain their roles as librarians or lunchtime leaders. They discharge these roles diligently and delight in helping others. Pupils are kind to each other. They champion the school's values of courage, respect and compassion. Classmates are thrilled when others are successful. They recognise and celebrate when challenges have been faced and overcome along the way. Pupils behaviour is exemplary. Staff provide support to any pupil who needs a little help from time to time to manage their emotions or behaviour. The school is calm, settled and orderly. Pupils know that it is important to work hard and try your best. They aspire to this in everything they do and attain highly, particularly in English and mathematics. Pupils are very well prepared, both personally and academically, for the next stages of their education.
What the school should improve
- The wider curriculum has been revised. Sometimes, teaching is not as confident and clear in these subjects. The school should continue to check that the wider curriculum is helping pupils to remember essential knowledge and build on this as successfully as is seen in English and mathematics.
