What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils are very proud to attend this school. They know the importance of being 'ready, respectful, kind and safe'. This is the 'Stapeley Way', which guides the exceptional manner in which pupils conduct themselves in all that they do. Pupils happily greet visitors. They are extremely polite and courteous to staff and one another. The school has high expectations of pupils. This includes for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In turn, pupils achieve well and they are prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. In lessons, they are highly attentive when listening to their teachers. Pupils try their best and take great pride in their work. They listen carefully to one another. This includes when other pupils share ideas that are different to their own. Pupils accept and celebrate the things that make them the same and different. Pupils benefit from a wide range of leadership opportunities. Members of the school council enjoy organising special events. The school listens to, and acts upon, its suggestions, for example holding events to raise money for charity. Members of the friendship council help younger pupils to play games at breaktime. These roles help pupils to develop confidence and a strong moral compass.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, including in the early years, the essential learning is not as clearly defined as it is in other areas of the curriculum. At times, this limits how well some pupils learn in these subjects. The school should ensure that all subject curriculums identify the key knowledge and skills that pupils need to improve their learning.
