What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
Pupils thrive in this welcoming and supportive school. They are proud of its inclusive ethos. The school's values of 'love', 'compassion' and 'respect' are lived out daily by pupils and staff. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well in their learning. This is reflected in high published outcomes in national assessments. The school develops pupils' knowledge and confidence through a broad and ambitious curriculum. Expectations are high, and pupils are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave exceptionally well in lessons and around the school. They are motivated and show respect and kindness towards adults and each other. Pupils say that bullying is rare and that if it occurs, it is dealt with swiftly. They feel safe and know to talk to a responsible adult if they have any concerns. The school develops pupils' independence and character. Pupils take on many leadership responsibilities. For example, they can choose to be on the student council, eco-ambassadors or play leaders. Pupils contribute positively to the school and their local community, for example by helping the homeless. Pupils appreciate the wide range of clubs they can choose to attend. Leaders ensure that all pupils can take part in many sports and musical and other creative activities. This is because they see these as valuable learning experiences.
What the school should improve
- On occasion, the implementation of the ambitious curriculum does not enable some pupils to secure their understanding as well as it could. This is because sometimes, teachers do not check learning regularly and address misconceptions quickly enough. This means that some pupils' knowledge of important subject content is not as developed and embedded as it should be. The school should ensure that staff are checking learning effectively.
