What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Pupils are enthusiastic to attend this school. Their attitudes to learning are highly positive, and staff share this positivity and belief. The school is an inclusive and welcoming environment. This is evident through how pupils treat each other. One pupil, reflecting on the school's value of diversity, said, 'Difference doesn't matter because we are all unique.' Pupils achieve well. They relish learning across a broad range of subjects. The carefully curated approach to inclusive learning ensures that pupils are supported well. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), welcome thoughtful help from adults. They know they will be quickly and effectively supported with learning and wider development. Pupils are kind to others, and playtimes are respectful and joyful. The school has rigorous expectations for behaviour. Pupils value the care they receive and thrive in a nurturing environment. The school has overcome significant issues with its building this year. This has meant lots of change for pupils and staff. Pupils do not feel there has been any change to their daily experience. They have loved school just as much!
What the school should improve
- Assessment of pupils' learning needs further refinement. This means pupils are not yet able to achieve as well as they could. The school must support staff to accurately check pupils' understanding and use this information to inform their future teaching across the curriculum.
