What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy school. They appreciate the wider opportunities that the school arranges for them. These include sports clubs, as well as craft, singing, science and dance. Pupils also enjoy the educational visits that support their learning. Relationships in school are positive. Pupils are considerate of one another. They share equipment in class and take turns in games on the playground. Pupils trust the adults in school. They know that they can share any concerns, and they will be dealt with. High standards of behaviour are expected by the school. The majority of pupils meet these expectations in all that they do. Where behaviour is managed well, pupils show positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils move around the school in a calm and considerate manner. Lunch in the dining hall is a highly social experience for pupils. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. However, because the curriculum is not yet established, pupils do not consistently consolidate their learning and build knowledge over time. This means that not all pupils achieve as well as they could.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not defined the precise knowledge pupils will learn. Where this happens, teachers are not clear about the knowledge pupils are expected to learn and do not always design lessons that support the aims of the curriculum. This holds pupils back. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum is equally well considered across all subjects so the knowledge to be taught is clearly defined.
- The school does not ensure that all staff follow the high expectations set for pupils' behaviour. This means that poor behaviour is not always challenged consistently well. As a result, some pupils miss important parts of their learning and sometimes distract others. Leaders should ensure the high expectations for pupils' behaviour are realised by all staff.
