What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
Pupils enjoy coming to school and are happy to be a part of this community. They are keen to talk about the range of opportunities they have, both in the classroom and beyond. They are polite and respectful and know that they are safe in the school. Pupils know whom to talk to if they have any worries and they will get the help they need straightaway. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils are taught what this means and how to meet these expectations. The vast majority of pupils meet these, and those pupils who need additional help to do so receive it quickly. As a result, the school is a calm and positive environment. Pupils learn well and are eager to learn more. The school has ensured that there is a variety of clubs and events for pupils to take part in. These range from sporting activities to book clubs and language learning. There are many opportunities for pupils to share their achievements and to take on different responsibilities. This includes roles as physical education (PE) ambassadors, librarians and house captains. Pupils are exceptionally proud to talk about these roles and what they have had to do to adopt them.
What the school should improve
- The activities and adaptations for pupils are not always closely matched to the intended learning, including for some pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils do not make as much progress as they could. The school needs to ensure that teachers know how to make use of the right approaches and adaptions for pupils across all subjects to ensure that all pupils are learning well.
