What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 March 2024

Pupils enjoy their learning at this school. They feel happy and safe in school. One pupil commented, 'Teachers are good at this school. We can go to them with any problems or worries and they will help. Lessons are fun.' The school has high aspirations for all pupils to achieve their potential. Pupils work hard and reach these high expectations. This includes those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and the disadvantaged. The school expects these groups of pupils to achieve as well as all other pupils. Pupils have many responsibilities which help them to grow in confidence and independence as they progress through school. They care for others, have high ambition and have a sense of purpose. The curriculum extends beyond the academic. Pupils go on many visits. They take part in a wide range of clubs. Many pupils take part in sporting competitions. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. Pupils know and follow the behaviour rules. They agree they are fair. Staff consistently apply the behaviour rewards and penalties policy. Pupils and staff agree that behaviour has improved. If pupils sense unfairness about behaviour rules they speak with staff. The staff listen and make appropriate changes.

What the school should improve

• Some pupils do not have a clear enough understanding of key knowledge and vocabulary in some subjects. This reduces their ability to remember and successfully build on what they have learned previously. The school should place greater emphasis on fully embedding key knowledge and making sure that pupils understand important subject vocabulary.
