What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
Pupils thrive at school. They develop impressive personal qualities because of the school's excellent programme for personal development. Starting in the early years, pupils learn about important human attributes such as humility, bravery and how to learn from failure. Pupils speak articulately about what makes them unique individuals and the personal traits they are trying to develop. By the end of Year 6, all pupils are well prepared for the leadership positions they each hold. They make substantial contributions to their community, including raising thousands of pounds for the charities pupils choose to support. Pupils show remarkable care and empathy towards each other. If a pupil becomes upset, others willingly step in to console and help. In lessons, in assemblies and during sporting events, pupils celebrate the success of others. Pupils play well together. Older pupils serve as positive role models for those younger. Year 6 'buddies' look out for and support younger children in Reception to learn how to play well during play times. Pupils benefit from the improved school curriculum. They strive for the high expectations of achievement the school sets. Pupils achieve well in national tests.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, staff do not adapt learning activities well enough to match the differing needs of pupils with SEND. When this happens, these pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school must ensure that all staff provide effective learning opportunities that meet the specific needs of pupils with SEND. and Jane Proby 3
