What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2022
Pupils come to school happy and eager to learn. They benefit from warm and caring relationships with staff who know them well. This helps pupils to feel safe and secure. They are considerate of each other and get on well together. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' work, attitudes and behaviour. Staff give pupils the help they need to succeed. Pupils work hard and are keen to do their best. They achieve well, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are happy and safe because everyone behaves well. Staff help them understand how to behave and to treat each other with respect. Pupils rarely experience bullying. They are happy to talk to staff about concerns and say adults respond quickly if help is needed. Worry boxes throughout the school are valued by pupils. Pupils appreciate the after-school clubs provided for them. They also enjoy a wide range of experiences that include visits and visitors to the school. Leaders and staff know families well. Parents and carers value this. As one said, 'All of the staff are fantastic, caring, nurturing and meet the needs of our child'.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the intended curriculum is not coherent enough. This means the small steps that pupils need to know and remember have not been precisely identified. Leaders need to complete the process of reviewing the curriculum in all subjects, ensuring it is delivered effectively so that pupils learn what is needed as they move through the school.
- The quality of the personal development curriculum is variable. Some aspects are stronger than others. Where elements of the provision are not delivered effectively, pupils are not clear about what they have learned. Leaders need to ensure that all aspects of pupils' personal development learning are implemented well so they can learn with greater success
