What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 June 2024
Pupils flourish in this nurturing school where pupils are encouraged to become curious learners. This is a friendly school community where pupils feel safe and happy. At the heart of the school's work is a commitment to provide pupils with personalised learning programmes. The school's curriculum design carefully takes account of each pupil's specific special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and their interests as well. With effective support from skilled staff, pupils enjoy their learning and meet the school's aspirations for successful learning. Typically, pupils' conduct during lessons is positive. Staff are very calm and model expectations in a consistent and caring manner. This helps pupils to be ready for learning, so that they can focus on their studies. Pupils know that extra help is quickly available if they struggle socially or with their feelings or emotions. Pupils value the praise and rewards that they receive, including for good behaviour. Incidents of bullying are rare and are dealt with quickly by the school. If behaviour happens to fall below that which is expected, swift action by staff and positive affirmation ensure that pupils' self-esteem is maintained. Pupils are helped to resume focus quickly once again on their work.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the school's curriculum thinking does not identify precisely what pupils need to know and learn. This limits the development of pupils' deeper knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that the important subject content is identified clearly, in all subjects.
- The opportunity for regular professional development across all areas of the school's work is not consistent. This means that sometimes staff lack the expertise to implement the school's curriculum and meet pupils' needs. The school should ensure that all staff are trained to teach all subjects and meet the needs of all pupils.
