What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 November 2023

Pupils enjoy attending school, embracing its values of 'unite, inspire and excel'. Staff have high expectations for pupils' learning. Pupils live up to these expectations in their lessons by 'showing they can shine'. They are attentive and enthusiastic about their learning and achieve well. Pupils develop positive relationships with staff, who they know look after them and keep them safe. Pupils benefit from a multitude of opportunities to assume leadership roles. Many apply for these positions and understand the democratic processes involved. Pupils on the school council share their classmates' views and ideas with staff. Others are proud to be trained as 'new arrival ambassadors' and give families a warm and informative welcome to the school. There are numerous times when pupils recognise how their views are listened to and their opinions valued. One parent sums up the views of many when they say, 'There are so many opportunities for children to find their niche and shine.' Parents and carers value their invitations to visit the school. Events such as the termly 'Fantastic Finish' and annual celebration evening give them a wealth of information about what their children learn at school.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, teaching does not always emphasise the key knowledge and skills pupils need to learn. This means that pupils sometimes have gaps in their understanding. The school should ensure that, in all subjects, the teaching of key knowledge and skills allows pupils to achieve the aims of the curriculum.
