What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
Pupils are happy and safe. They enjoy positive and respectful relationships with each other and with staff. On the rare occasions that bullying occurs, leaders deal with it quickly and effectively. Pupils understand the importance of respecting people from different backgrounds and treating them equally. Leaders have placed the principle of respect at the heart of the school. They create meaningful opportunities for pupils to have a voice. For example, the headteacher and other senior leaders listen carefully to feedback from student council representatives. Leaders expect pupils to be behave well and respect each other's right to learn. Pupils live up to these expectations. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning and take pride in their work. There are many opportunities for pupils to be active citizens. For example, some pupils take on roles in the school library. Others are mental health champions or subject ambassadors. Pupil leadership is a prominent feature of school life. Leaders put on events to celebrate the many contributions that pupils make.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always check pupils' understanding of the curriculum sufficiently well. As a result, some pupils do not embed knowledge as fluently as they could. Leaders should ensure that effective assessment is used consistently.
- The early reading programme is not as effective as leaders intend. As a result, pupils in the early stages of reading do not develop reading fluency and accuracy as quickly as they could. Leaders should ensure that an effective early reading curriculum is implemented.
