What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 January 2023

Pupils say the best thing about this school is the way staff help them to enjoy learning. Parents and carers value the way leaders keep them informed and listen to their views. There is a strong sense of community at this school. Leaders and governors think deeply together about curriculum design. They keep it under regular, systematic review. They are ambitious for what pupils can achieve, and strive to help them achieve even more. Leaders offer a broad range of opportunities for pupils to take part in clubs and cultural events. This is identified by parents and pupils as one of the things that makes the school special. Parents say they have seen their child blossom as a result of the responsibilities they are given and the opportunities for pupils to develop socially. Pupils' conduct in and around the school is calm and orderly. They get on well together in work and play. Pupils show great respect for one another's views. Pupils have confidence in staff to sort out poor behaviour or bullying. They do not feel that bullying is a problem here.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects and in some year groups, teachers' checks do not identify how well pupils make links between different bits of knowledge so they deeply understand ideas. This means that teachers do not have clear information to help them identify how well pupils have learned subject content. Leaders should make sure that teachers have the expertise and guidance needed to assess the depth of pupils' understanding.
