What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
This is an inclusive school. There is a rich multi-cultural diversity and everyone is made to feel welcome. Strong relationships between pupils, staff and parents provide the foundation of this school's success. The curriculum provides pupils with plentiful opportunities to develop their talents beyond purely academic subjects. Learning extends beyond the classroom. The music offer is particularly impressive. For example, the steel pan band recently performed at the Vertu Arena. Pupils enjoy regular visits and visitors in school. For example, pupils learn samba dancing as part of their geography topic about Brazil. Year 6 pupils enjoy an outdoor education residential visit to Lockerbie. These experiences widen pupils' horizons. Behaviour is a strength of the school. Pupils are happy and safe. They are polite and respectful. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils are inquisitive and eager to learn. No learning time is lost due to poor behaviour. There are high expectations for pupils' achievement. Most pupils make good progression through the curriculum. Pupils enjoy a number of leadership roles and responsibilities in school, such as librarians, reading buddies and school councillors. The school provides an extensive range of clubs and activities, for example, chess, gardening and badminton. These help to build pupils' interests.
What the school should improve
- There is some variation in how effectively assessment information is used to adapt the curriculum and to design learning tasks for some pupils, including pupils with SEND. Sometimes, these pupils do not make good progression through the curriculum because they do not have the prerequisite knowledge and skills needed. The school must ensure that assessment is used more effectively to inform curriculum adaptation.
