What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2024
This is a warm and friendly school. Pupils greet visitors with smiles and ask how they are. Pupils develop strong relationships with their friends and with adults in school. These positive relationships help pupils to meet the school's high expectations for their behaviour. The school does not tolerate bullying. Pupils are confident that staff will sort out incidents of poor behaviour effectively. The curriculum is broad and ambitious. All staff have high expectations for pupils. Pupils achieve well in reading and mathematics by the end of their time at this school. As a result of leaders' timely actions, pupils' achievement in writing has improved this year. Most pupils are enthusiastic learners. They enjoy the many challenges that teachers provide in lessons. Pupils value sharing ideas and encourage each other to do their best. Pupils are proud to be 'values champions'. They enjoy promoting the school's Christian values. These values, which include friendship and respect, are at the heart of the school. Pupils live these out every day. The school encourages pupils to develop their talents and interests. These include violin or guitar tuition. Some pupils sing in the school choir. Many pupils attend the range of clubs on offer.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not identified the knowledge and skills that pupils need to know as well as in other subjects. This means that pupils do not develop the knowledge they need for later learning. The school should ensure that it continues to develop and refine all areas of the curriculum consistently.
- The assessment of pupils' knowledge is not as effective in some subjects as it is in others. This means that staff do not have a clear understanding of pupils' progress in these subjects. The school should ensure that assessment systems support staff to identify and address gaps in pupils' subject knowledge effectively.
