What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils get off to an excellent start in this school. They like learning and enjoy the practical activities that they do in lessons. The school is calm and orderly, with clear expectations of behaviour. Lessons are well structured so that pupils can focus on learning. Pupils can talk about the strategies they use to help them to remember their learning. They take pride in their work. Pupils take responsibility seriously and enjoy preparing breaktime activities. They take care of each other and play well together. Pupils show empathy and compassion for others. They learn to be respectful and treat others as they want to be treated themselves. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) take part in school life and work well alongside their peers. Parents and pupils say that bullying is rare and that if it occurs, leaders deal with it effectively. Pupils are happy, and parents say that their children love coming to school. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Pupils know adults will listen and support them.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders' curriculum plans have only been recently introduced. Not all teachers have a secure understanding of how key knowledge in these subjects builds over time. This means that pupils do not remember the key ideas that help to secure their understanding across the whole curriculum. Leaders should continue to establish their curriculum plans so that pupils have sufficient time to revisit and integrate new knowledge into wider learning.
- Pupils have some opportunities to participate in clubs, trips and activities. Pupils say they would like more. This means that their personal development is not fully promoted. Leaders should ensure that there is a wider offer of clubs and activities to develop pupils' talents and interests to nurture and develop pupils beyond the academic curriculum.
