What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

Pupils are known and valued as individuals at this welcoming school. Staff greet pupils warmly as they arrive for the day. They always have time to check on pupils' well-being and to ensure that pupils are in the right frame of mind to be successful. Happy pupils speak very highly of the support they receive and their relationships with staff. The school has high expectations of what pupils can achieve. The staff are determined that pupils will develop the knowledge, skills and qualifications that they need to be prepared for their next steps. More than this, staff want pupils to see the value of education and to see themselves as successful learners. Most pupils live up to these expectations and achieve the ambitious goals the school has for them. Pupils behave well. They receive helpful guidance about the difference between right and wrong and how to conduct themselves. Staff quickly provide calm and effective support on any occasions that pupils need reminding about their behaviour. Pupils benefit from enrichment opportunities. They visit the library to reflect on how they can continue to read when they leave school. Pupils develop their talents and take part in sporting competitions against other schools.

What the school should improve

• In a small number of subjects, the important knowledge that pupils should learn has not been clearly set out. As a result, it is difficult for staff to identify whether pupils have missed learning and to provide consistently high-quality feedback to help pupils learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the important knowledge that pupils should learn has been clearly set out in every subject.
