What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
The school is very ambitious for the achievement of pupils. Pupils benefit from effective personal, social and emotional support. This contributes highly to how well pupils achieve. The school's rights respecting ethos is at the heart of everything it does. Pupils are proud of their school, particularly the inclusive environment which is welcoming to all and nurtures pupils' individuality. There are strong relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils are polite and well mannered. They speak confidently and articulately with visitors. Classroom environments are calm and purposeful. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. The majority of pupils are curious and display positive attitudes towards their learning. They enjoy coming to school. Pupils have a very well-developed understanding of equality and diversity. They revel in their many responsibilities, including as members of the various departments of the school council. Pupils themselves help to shape the school's wider offer. For example, they enjoy litter picking led by the school's environment department. A wide variety of visits and extra-curricular activities enhance pupils' learning across the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- A small group of pupils do not have a secure recall of their phonics knowledge. On occasion, these pupils find it hard to read fluently. From time-to-time, this limits their understanding of what they have read. The school should make sure that pupils have the support that they need to help them to develop into fluent, confident readers.
