What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 June 2023
Pupils benefit greatly from an extremely well-designed programme of wider personal development. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are inspired and encouraged to become thoughtful and considerate citizens. They discuss and debate current affairs and take part in many global awareness days. Pupils thrive in the wide range of extra-curricular clubs. They relish listening to external speakers and they enjoy visits to places of interest. Leaders' approach to pupils' wider personal development is first class. Pupils are encouraged to live out the school's vision: 'Never settle for less than your best.' Leaders and staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and achievement. They expect all pupils to aim high and to reach their goals. In most subjects, pupils achieve well. They are suitably prepared for the next stage in their education. Pupils, and children in early years, behave well. They follow the routines set out by staff, including how to move around the school building. Pupils know whom they can turn to if they are worried about anything. They use the 'I wish my teacher knew' boxes to let staff know about any concerns. Pupils understand that there are different ways in which bullying can happen. When incidents of bullying occur, leaders deal with these effectively. Pupils feel safe and happy in school as they know that teachers will sort out their problems.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teachers do not think carefully enough about the conversations that they have with children in early years. This hinders how well some children progress through the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that teachers use carefully constructed dialogue with children to enable them to deepen their understanding across all areas of learning.
- Some pupils do not attend school as often as they should. This means that they miss out on important and exciting learning. Leaders should continue to ensure that those pupils who are persistently absent attend school more regularly.
