What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Adults and pupils work well together to ensure that pupils' welfare and learning are well promoted. The school is a calm and respectful place and pupils learn happily. They conduct themselves well in lessons and during playtimes. Pupils are kind and encouraging towards each other. They are proud of their school. Leaders have high expectations for pupils. They ensure that pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have the help that they need to learn successfully in their different subjects. Pupils work hard, try their best and achieve well. Bullying is rare. Pupils are safe in school and are confident that staff are there to support them if they need it. Staff are quick to sort out any incidents of poor behaviour, and they do so fairly. They provide high-quality pastoral support for pupils. Pupils have trusted adults that they can talk to if they have any worries. Pupils enjoy taking on extra responsibilities, such as being eco-councillors, digital leaders and helping younger pupils. They are taught the importance of exercise and healthy eating. Pupils enjoy taking part in the many sporting and cultural activities that staff organise for them, such as choir, residential trips and visits to museums.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, some teachers' subject-specific expertise is not fully secure. As a result, pupils' knowledge and understanding is occasionally not as deep as it could be. Leaders should ensure that staff have the expertise to implement fully all aspects of curriculum thinking and planning.
