What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 September 2022
Pupils are very happy and enjoy being part of the school. Everyone feels included and valued because of the opportunities on offer. These include being part of the school council or holding positions of responsibility in school like corridor monitors. Pupils feel safe and cared for. Pupils are enthusiastic and confident learners. They are keen to make valuable contributions to lessons. Pupils find it easy to learn because they know what is expected from them. They respond well to the challenges teachers set. Pupils also talk enthusiastically about the school's 'learning powers' and demonstrate these well in their work and behaviour. Behaviour all around the school, at playtimes and in lessons is safe and orderly. Pupils know and respect the routines. They are respectful of each other and adults within the school. Pupils and parents report that there is little or no bullying. Pupils said that if it does happen teachers deal with it quickly. Parents speak highly of the school and its staff. As one parent commented, 'Staff are extremely caring and go out of their way to ensure children succeed, are happy and feel safe.'
What the school should improve
- Pupils do not have enough opportunities to learn about other faiths and cultures. This means they are not as well prepared as they could be for life in modern Britain. Leaders need to adapt the personal development curriculum, so pupils have opportunities to explore a wide range of faiths and cultures beyond their local community.
