What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
Pupils behave exceptionally well at this school. Leaders set high expectations and pupils live up to them in lessons and when playing with their friends. Pupils benefit from clear routines and are motivated to work hard. They are kind to each other and know the characteristics of being a good friend. Pupils have no concerns about bullying. They feel safe and happy, knowing that staff look after them well. Pupils enjoy their 'Forest Fridays'. They understand the importance of looking after the wildlife that live in the school's habitat. Pupils learn how to look after themselves during their forest school sessions. These include the popular activity of toasting marshmallows in the fire pit. Pupils enjoy opportunities to lead initiatives across the school. For example, the eco-committee helps to keep the site litter free and raise environmental issues across the school community. Members of the committee are extremely proud of their recent award. Leaders are determined to embed this new school in the community. Pupils enjoy meeting visitors from the neighbourhood, such as the fire service and church. Leaders have established strong links with a local sixth-form college. This relationship has resulted in pupils having the opportunity to experience exciting music and drama workshops.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, teachers are not clear exactly what to teach or check that pupils have remembered. As a result, pupils do not learn quite as well as they might. Leaders need to complete work to ensure that the acquisition of knowledge and skills is clearly thought through in these subjects.
- In Reception, teaching staff do not consistently support children in their conversation. This means that children do not always have the vocabulary they need to talk about their learning. Leaders should ensure that all staff know how to support children with their communication and language development.
