What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school. Pupils get on well together. They look after each other. Pupils told inspectors that staff take good care of them. This makes pupils feel happy and safe in school. Pupils are proud of their school. They are polite and respectful to adults and each other. Pupils work hard in lessons and take pride in their work. Pupils behave well in lessons, around the school and at breaktimes. They trust that if any bullying should happen, staff would deal with it quickly. Leaders have high aspirations for pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have designed a curriculum that motivates pupils so that they are keen to learn. Pupils enjoy their lessons. They like to talk about their learning. Pupils across the school achieve well. Older pupils relish opportunities to develop their leadership skills through their roles as school councillors, play leaders and well-being warriors. They organise games at playtimes and help leaders to collect pupils' views about the school.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not use leaders' assessment systems as intended in one or two subjects. This means that teachers do not identify misconceptions or gaps in pupils' knowledge. Leaders should ensure that teachers have the information that they need about pupils' learning.
- The provision for pupils' spiritual development does not provide sufficient opportunities for pupils to learn about different cultures, faiths and religions. This limits pupils' personal development. Leaders should ensure that pupils are taught about different people's cultures and religions.
