What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils come into school happily. Those arriving by bus wait their turn in a calm and orderly manner. Pupils are welcomed by adults who they are excited to see because they know that they support and care for them. This helps pupils feel safe. Pupils treat each other with kindness because they follow the school's recently updated values of honesty, evolve, aspire, resilience, team (HEART). They show some of these values by playing nicely together and by supporting each other. The school has high expectations for pupils. Lessons are fun, and this motivates pupils to try their best. Pupils feel proud when their efforts are praised. This includes pupils who are disadvantaged and those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils love to celebrate each other's achievements in weekly celebration assemblies. Pupils with SEND are fully integrated into school life. Pupils enjoy learning ways to keep themselves healthy such as the foods they eat. They also learn about meditation and other strategies to support their mental health and well-being. Pupils value the range of opportunities to broaden their horizons and extend their interests. This is through carefully thought-out extra-curricular clubs and trips.
What the school should improve
- A few areas of the personal development curriculum, such as British values, understanding protected characteristics and enabling confident learners, are not as well rooted as other curriculum areas. Consequently, pupils do not always feel confident about their future and are not being prepared well enough for life in modern Britain. The school should ensure that the intended personal development curriculum is consistently implemented so that pupils learn to build character and confidence and it prepares them for the next stage of their life in all areas of being an active citizen.
