What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 March 2023

Leaders and staff strive to help all pupils to live out the school's vision to 'be proud, be brilliant and belong'. Pupils are happy and feel safe. The school community celebrates diversity and pupils show respect to one another. Pupils behave well. They say, 'we are good at being friends here'. They are adamant that there is no bullying. If a problem of any kind did occur, pupils are confident that staff will resolve it. Pupils show good self-control around the school and behave calmly. Positive encouragement from teachers helps pupils to listen attentively, to be confident to join in, and to concentrate on their work. Pupils know the learning routines expected of them. This helps them to cooperate and support each other's learning. While most pupils attend well, the attendance of a minority is too low. These pupils miss important learning and develop gaps in their knowledge. Pupils experience a range of extra-curricular activities. These provide pupils with the chance to experience a range of sports and creative activities. Leaders are prioritising increasing the number of after-school clubs.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, the important knowledge pupils need to learn is not clearly identified. As a result, pupils do not build their knowledge as well as they could. Leaders need to clearly identify all the important knowledge that pupils need to know and ensure that it is carefully sequenced, so that pupils build their knowledge of all subjects securely.
• The attendance of some pupils is still too low. These pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they could. Leaders need to strengthen even further the work they are doing to improve the attendance of children who are persistently absent.
