What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 November 2023

This is an inclusive school where pupils feel happy. Pupils are proud to attend this school. They feel well supported and valued in a warm and caring environment. Pupils enjoy learning and playing together, and everyone is made to feel welcome. Staff and pupils embody the school's values and ethos. Leaders have an ambitious vision for all pupils to achieve well. There are positive relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils trust staff to help them with any problems they have. Adults have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils respond well to this. Most pupils behave well in school. Staff support children, as they join the school, to quickly learn the school rules and routines. Staff make sure pupils are kept safe here. Leaders give pupils a wide range of experiences to help them develop both academically and personally. Pupils get the opportunity to develop their confidence and resilience through taking on different leadership positions, such as sports and healthy eating coordinators and members of the school council.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, teaching does not make sure that tasks match closely with the important knowledge that pupils need to learn. This limits pupils' recall of important knowledge. The school needs to ensure that the implementation of the curriculum is consistent in all subjects so that it builds securely on pupils' prior learning.
  • On occasion, teaching does not make suitable adaptations for pupils with SEND who have complex needs. This limits these pupils' understanding of subject content. The school needs to ensure that teachers carefully select and adapt activities that meet pupils' needs more closely.
