What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 November 2022
Pupils are happy to come to school as they feel safe and cared for. They appreciate having a team of adults who are there to help them if they feel upset. They understand what bullying is and said that it does not happen at their school. Any incidents are dealt with well. Behaviour in school is exceptional. This is because leaders have prioritised helping pupils to manage their own feelings. Pupils understand that sometimes they make the wrong choices and that there are consequences, but adults teach them to make the right choices. They are self-aware and learn to behave very well without needing adults to intervene. Leaders have high expectations of the work and behaviour of every pupil, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The pastoral team takes the time to get to know every child well. Staff work on strategies to help every child to overcome any barriers. Pupils enjoy a range of trips to broaden their experiences. They take on many responsibilities in school, including acting as school councillors, librarians, sports and computing leaders. Older pupils take their play-leader responsibilities seriously as they play with younger pupils and children and show them how to behave.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, some staff have not received sufficient training to deliver some aspects of these curriculums effectively. This stops some pupils from building on previous knowledge, as well as what leaders intend. Leaders should ensure that staff are supported to deliver curriculums well in these subjects.
