What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

Pupils at this school embody its core values of friendship and respect. These values underpin the harmonious relationships between everyone in school. Pupils are thoughtful and well mannered. They make everyone feel welcome. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), strive to meet these expectations. As a result, pupils work hard and typically achieve well across a range of subjects. They are well prepared for their next stage of education. Pupils enjoy developing their talents and interests in a number of activities. For example, pupils relish taking part in activities such as craft, cookery and a wide range of different sports. Pupils are proud of the array of sporting successes that teams from the school have achieved. Through their many leadership roles, pupils contribute to decision-making in school. For example, they act as school councillors, eco-councillors and safety councillors. Pupils are proud of their responsibilities and diligently carry out their roles. For instance, members of the pupil safeguarding council have worked hard to help to reduce accidents on the playground.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the school's approaches to checking on pupils' knowledge and understanding are underdeveloped. On occasion, this stops teachers from being certain that pupils have gained the knowledge that they should before they introduce new learning. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment strategies effectively to identify and remedy pupils' gaps in knowledge in order to inform future learning.
