What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils learn with increasing success at this inclusive community school. They embody the school values of empathy, equity, inspiration, integrity, perseverance and gratitude. Staff promote these values effectively and consistently. This helps to ensure that pupils learn to work and play together well, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or pupils who are disadvantaged. As a result, this is a safe and welcoming place for pupils to come and learn. Pupils behave well. They play harmoniously together at breaktimes and lunchtimes. Bullying is rare. When it happens, staff listen and act swiftly to address it. Pupils generally show strong attitudes to their learning, particularly when expectations are high. Occasionally, some pupils need reminding of what is expected. However, this does not lessen the orderly and hardworking atmosphere in lessons. Pupils speak very positively about their learning. Lessons have been carefully planned to help them know more across subjects. Pupils are increasingly well prepared for the transition to secondary school. Many pupils with SEND say they are supported well by staff. Parents and pupils appreciate the wide range of extra- curricular experiences on offer.
What the school should improve
- Some elements of the implementation of the new curriculum need refinement. For example, some staff have higher expectations of pupils and, where this is the case, pupils learn more. The school should look to ensure greater consistency in how the curriculum is implemented. This will help pupils learn and remember even more of the intended curriculum.
- Staff do not routinely check pupils' understanding or adapt learning during some lessons. This hampers some pupils from building their knowledge over time. The school should build on its improved assessment to ensure that staff regularly check pupils' understanding and ability to apply their knowledge independently so that lessons can be adapted and gaps in knowledge filled in a timely fashion.
