What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2024
Pupils love their diverse school because everyone is included. The school is like a family where everyone knows each other very well. Pupils said that it never gets boring here. They learn 'fun' things every day. Pupils enjoy being part of a school that raises money for charities, such as a local hospice. They are appreciative of staff at the school. If pupils struggle with their work, staff will go over it again. Pupils value the excellent resources that they have in school to help them learn. Poor behaviour seldom gets in the way of learning. Pupils said that staff make sure they are safe. Pupils show a strong understanding of bullying. It is a rarity at their school. Staff have high expectations of pupils' achievement and behaviour. Pupils share these high expectations. They achieve well. Pupils get excited by learning and typically produce work of good quality. Pupils have a clear appreciation of fundamental British values. The school provides opportunities for pupils to put these into practice. Recently pupils enjoyed voting about the theme of their next non-uniform day. This helped pupils to get a deeper understanding of democracy.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school's curriculum is not firmly embedded. Staff are still getting used to delivering the new curriculum content. On occasion, pupils complete activities that are not closely linked to the aims and ambition of the curriculum. This impacts on pupils' recall of their learning. The school should ensure that the new curriculum is firmly embedded, and that staff have the training and support they need to deliver it confidently.
