What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 9 February 2022

Pupils enjoy their time at school. They make friends and learn happily together. They are proud to live up to the school expectations of LORIC: leadership, organisation, resilience, initiative and communication. This helps pupils develop into confident and successful learners. Pupils behave well in class, around school and on the playground. In lessons, they try hard, concentrate and stick at tasks even when they find them difficult. Pupils show pride in their work. They enjoy debating. For example, pupils express their thoughts and ideas confidently when talking with adults. Pupils show good manners and respect for each other's opinions. Staff care for pupils and keep them safe. Pupils know that adults in school will help them if they have any worries. Pupils say there is very little bullying but there are occasional squabbles. When these happen, they say that staff help them resolve their differences. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibility. For example, they look after playground equipment and older pupils coach younger ones to develop their football skills. Pupils are proactive in supporting national and local charities. For example, they bake cakes to support the air ambulance.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, assessment is not used to identify pupils' misconceptions consistently well. This slows pupils' learning down. Leaders should ensure that assessment is used consistently well so that teaching addresses any misconceptions and pupils gain all the knowledge they should in every subject.
  • Recently, some subject leaders have implemented changes to the curriculum. Some approaches to teaching in these subjects are still relatively new, and staff are still getting to grips with them. Leaders should ensure that all staff develop the specific knowledge they need to implement the recently agreed approaches to implementing the curriculum in every subject.
