What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 May 2024
Pupils become confident and resilient learners at this inclusive and aspirational school. They behave well and show respect and kindness to one another. Pupils understand the school's values. They embrace these values to help them make good choices, meeting the high expectations leaders have for them. Pupils love coming to school each day. They are excited about using the newly refurbished library and the new 'STEAM' cabin for their practical lessons. Pupils say that their pastoral support staff, Fred the school dog and other adults in school all help them to feel happy and safe. This school is ambitious for all pupils to do well and achieve their best. Adults set clear expectations for learning and most pupils rise to meet these expectations. They work hard in lessons and achieve well, especially in reading and mathematics. Diversity is encouraged, explored and celebrated. Pupils enjoy learning about each other's beliefs and experiences. They know that everyone is equal and that their opinions matter. Pupils enjoy attending a range of extra-curricular clubs such as the choir, orchestra and sports clubs. Pupils benefit from a range of enrichment activities, such as visiting museums and meeting farm animals as part of their learning in science.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the most important knowledge and skills that pupils need to remember over time are not identified clearly enough. This means that some pupils do not always build on their prior knowledge and learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum in all subjects specifies the essential knowledge pupils must secure before moving on to their next steps.
- The support for a few pupils with SEND is not planned precisely enough. This means that a small minority of pupils are not making as much progress as they could be. The school needs to ensure that the expectations for pupils are clearly set out so that staff consistently make effective provision for all pupils.
