What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 February 2023
This is a welcoming, happy and diverse school community. Pupils are proud members of this school. They are friendly, polite and considerate towards others. Pupils behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. This is because staff have high expectations of them. Lessons are not interrupted by poor behaviour. Pupils are not worried about bullying because it rarely happens, and if it does, it is dealt with quickly so it stops. Pupils feel happy and safe here because adults listen to them if they have any worries. Leaders and teachers encourage pupils to do their best. Pupils focus well in lessons and are enthusiastic about learning. Pupils value the support available to help their well-being. For example, well-being champions are available to help pupils regulate their emotions and understand their own feelings. Leaders provide opportunities for pupils to take on positions of leadership. Leaders listen to pupils and value their opinions. For example, school council representatives recently reviewed the anti-bullying policy and presented their suggestions to governors. Leaders provide a range of clubs, including for yoga, steel pans and choir. The school has a string ensemble and a rock band. These activities support pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not taught in the order in which leaders intend. This means that sometimes, pupils' learning does not build on what they already know. As a result, pupils do not deepen their learning and remember key information over time. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum in all subjects is delivered as intended.
- Sometimes, pupils with SEND do not progress successfully through the curriculum. This is because leaders do not consistently check what pupils are learning, and that teaching methods and resources are adapted to meet their needs. This includes pupils in the resource base as well as pupils with SEND. Leaders should check what pupils are learning and ensure that teachers have the training and information they need to adapt their teaching successfully to meet the needs of pupils with SEND.
