What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils love coming to school and enjoy their learning. This is reflected in their high attendance. Pupils take pleasure in sharing the many positive aspects of their school. The school's values 'curious, kind and connected' are well known by pupils. They know how these help them to be successful. For example, through the value of 'connected', pupils understand and celebrate difference. One pupil summed up the views of others by saying, 'We are all connected, even if we are different.' The school is ambitious for all pupils to be successful through their high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils rise to these and show positive attitudes to their learning. They value greatly the praise they receive for their strong commitment to learning. Pupils are supported to be active and responsible citizens. Through the many leadership roles, they know they make a difference. For example, through the role of 'globe trotters', pupils appreciate being able to share their family backgrounds and different cultures. School councillors choose the charities they want to support to make a difference beyond their school. Pupils appreciate the clubs to develop talents and interests. For example, they value developing new knowledge, such as the skill of 'strategy' in the board games and magic club.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils are not securing their knowledge of the writing curriculum well enough. This is because staff are not clear about the important knowledge pupils must learn and by when, such as in punctuation and handwriting. The trust should develop the expertise of staff in their understanding of the precise knowledge pupils must secure at each stage and use this to support any gaps in knowledge within pupils' writing.
- Some pupils with SEND do not gain all the support they need to learn the curriculum well. This is because the intended provision is not fully implemented in their learning and so they are often given work that is too challenging. The trust needs to strengthen staff expertise so that all pupils with SEND benefit from precisely identified provision to enable them to learn the curriculum well.
