What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 July 2024
Pupils love being a part of this vibrant and highly inclusive school. The school is incredibly diverse, with over 20 languages spoken. Pupils respect and care for each other regardless of their differences. They eagerly learn how to greet each other in a range of different languages. Adults know the pupils and their families extremely well. Pupils feel valued and cared for. One pupil summed up the ethos of inclusivity at the school perfectly when they said: 'The school cares about every last child.' The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well across all areas of the curriculum. Pupils behave well in lessons and at social times. They are extremely polite and well mannered to visitors to the school. Pupils feel safe at school. They have class 'worry boxes' to share any concerns they might have. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. They have a thorough understanding of fundamental British values. Pupils can link these to their school life. For example, they can link the rule of law to the school's 'green standard' of behaviour. Pupils have access to a range of extra-curricular clubs, including arts and crafts, judo and rounders.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, assessment is not as developed as it is in core subjects. As a result, sometimes teachers do not identify and respond to misconceptions as fully as they do in other subjects. The school should continue to develop assessment in these subjects to ensure it is fully developed and implemented in all subjects.
