What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 April 2024
Pupils and adults value being part of this happy and inclusive community. As one parent said: 'The support, emotionally as well as educationally, for our children from the school is excellent.' Pupils are proud to represent their school in leadership roles, such as digital leaders and climate crew. School leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. They encourage pupils to work hard in their lessons. This helps pupils to achieve well. Pupils leave the school well prepared for the next stage of education. Pupils are polite and eager to talk about the things they learn about in their lessons. The school has high expectations for how pupils present their work, although, at times, this high standard is not met. Leaders of individual subjects are knowledgeable and pupils are taught a wide range of important information in lessons. Pupils are respectful and kind to one another and bullying is rare. They know that if they have a problem, staff in school will support them. Pupils attend school regularly. At social times, pupils play well with one another. There is a wide range of clubs, including well- being, photography and cricket, that pupils enjoy attending after school.
What the school should improve
- With the introduction of the curriculum, sometimes the explanations and examples teachers give to guide pupils' learning, in some subjects, are not as precise as they could be. As a result, pupils are unable to use what they already know to support their new learning. The school needs to ensure that all new information is more consistently and precisely explained to pupils so that they can make the necessary connections to support new learning.
- Teachers do not consistently address the quality of the presentation of pupils' work. In some classes, pupils' writing and letter formation is incorrect, which is not addressed. The school needs to ensure that teachers are clear about their expectations for the presentation of pupils' work, including correct letter formation, and that these expectations and standards are applied consistently across all classes.
