What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
This is a school where staff know the pupils well and always have their best interests at heart. Staff consider the needs of each individual pupil and ensure that they feel safe and happy. They expect all pupils to achieve well and ensure that these expectations are met. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They learn and remember what they are taught. The school is a harmonious community, where staff and pupils get along well. Pupils work well together in lessons and are keen to succeed. Pupils are confident that they go to an adult when they need help and support. Pupils have the opportunity to take on leadership roles within school, and to support the local community beyond school. Through the personal development curriculum, pupils learn important skills that they will need beyond school, such as how to stay safe online and how to have healthy relationships with others. They value the opportunity to take part in many extra activities, especially in sports and arts. The school makes sure that these opportunities are open to all pupils. The extra contribution that pupils make is recognised through the 'Peacock Pride' awards.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the activities that teachers provide do not always allow for the intended curriculum to be implemented effectively. This leads to gaps in pupils' skills. The school should ensure that all lessons are carefully designed to enable pupils to develop the knowledge and skills they need.
- Although teachers check for pupils' understanding regularly, they do not always act on this information to adapt the lesson. This means that pupils' misconceptions are not always corrected. The school should ensure that any information gathered from in-class assessment is used effectively to address pupils' misconceptions and adapt lessons to meet the learning needs of pupils.
