What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 February 2023
Pupils are welcoming and friendly here. Leaders have created a strong sense of community, which helps pupils to be happy and confident. Parents and carers said that they appreciate and value being a part of this community. One parent said, expressing the views of many, 'It is a pleasure to be a parent at this school. I feel fully involved in my child's learning.' Pupils treat each other with respect and look out for one another. They are safe in school and they speak to a trusted adult if they have any worries. Typically, pupils behave sensibly and focus in class, without distraction. Leaders have ensured that the curriculum for arts subjects is well thought through and sequenced. As pupils progress upwards through the school, they learn to play instruments and compose music. The curriculum includes printmaking, ceramics and textiles. The work of the pupils' school council is appreciated. Elected pupil members help to make decisions about the school's development. For example, they recently coordinated a charity fundraising campaign to collect money for people abroad who were in need.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the intended curriculum in a small number of subjects is not delivered following leaders' curriculum thinking, and teaching does not identify and address pupils' misconceptions as frequently as in other subjects. This leaves gaps in pupils' knowledge, and pupils do not know and remember as much as they could. Leaders should ensure that in all subjects, the intended curriculum is taught following leaders' curriculum plans. They should also make sure that teachers check what pupils know and address any gaps or misunderstanding.
- Sometimes, teaching is not adapted as well as it could be for pupils with SEND. This means that these pupils do not achieve as highly as they could. Leaders should ensure that curriculum adaptions for these pupils are implemented consistently across the curriculum so that they build their knowledge more securely over time.
