What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 November 2024

Everyone receives a warm welcome at this happy school. Pupils know that this is a place where diversity is not just valued, it is cherished. As one pupil commented: 'You can be who you want to be at Disraeli.' They know that 'learning is a journey, not a race', and that hard work and determination help them to succeed. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes and achievement across a broad range of subjects. Pupils behave well and live up to their teachers' high expectations. They are courteous and respectful. Pupils readily hold doors open for others, offering friendly greetings and thanks to staff and their classmates. Pupils rightly value staff's kindness and strong support and care. This helps children in early years to settle in quickly and feel safe and secure. Throughout the school, this nurturing approach instils pupils with the confidence to share any worries and to seek help when needed. Pupils benefit from the school's exceptional range of clubs, visits and enrichment. These considerably enhance their education and enjoyment of school. Older pupils are excited about their forthcoming residential visit. They are eagerly anticipating the thrill of using the zip wire and taking part in other adventurous activities.

What the school should improve

  • There are some inconsistencies in the quality of pupils' writing, particularly in pupils' handwriting, punctuation and sentence construction. This hampers the overall quality of pupils' writing and means that not all pupils are achieving well enough in this strand of the English curriculum. The school needs to fully implement and embed its new writing curriculum.
  • The school's work to improve disadvantaged pupils' achievement through the pupil premium strategy has not yet had the full impact that leaders intend. Currently, some disadvantaged pupils are not achieving as well as they could in English and mathematics. The school needs to maintain its sharp focus on the achievement of these pupils so that they achieve the best possible outcomes.
