What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils are very happy at this school. They thrive in this welcoming and friendly environment. Pupils have strong relationships with staff and feel cared for and safe. Pupils behave exceptionally well. They treat each other and adults with the highest levels of respect, and they support the well-being of one another. Older pupils look after the younger pupils, ensuring that the school is a harmonious place to be. High aspirations and ambition permeate every aspect of this school. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to learning and the high-quality work they produce. Pupils rise to the school's high expectations. They achieve well academically and socially. Many parents and carers refer to the school as an 'excellent, safe and caring environment'. Pupils and staff agree. This is a place where differences are celebrated and everybody is of equal importance. Pupils' learning is enhanced by memorable experiences, including visits to pottery painting studios and places of worship. Pupils make a positive contribution to the life of the school and to the wider community. For example, they collect food and clothes to donate to local food and clothing banks. This enhances their understanding of the importance of giving to those less fortunate than themselves.
What the school should improve
- In lessons, teachers do not check pupils' understanding consistently before moving learning on. This means that some gaps in pupils' knowledge are not resolved fully, and the next steps are not learned securely. The school should ensure that teachers check pupils' understanding fully before they introduce new learning, so that pupils know and remember more in each subject.
- The school does not offer a wide variety of experiences to develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils' wider experiences are somewhat limited. The school should ensure that pupils benefit from a wide range of curriculum activities that support their personal development and help them to explore what they are good at and things they enjoy doing.
