What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 February 2025
Pupils at this school are safe and happy. Relationships between staff and pupils are caring. Pupils are respectful towards each other and behave well around the school. Leaders have high ambitions for what pupils achieve. These are generally realised. The school has carefully designed a tailored personal development offer. The approach is effective. Pupils take on leadership roles within the school. These include being play leaders, members of the school council and 'headstarters'. These opportunities help pupils to understand how they can contribute to society and have a positive impact on others. The school is committed to pupils' broader development. Pupils go on residential trips that develop their resilience and team-building skills. The school ensures that pupils also take part in a range of extra-curricular clubs. These include chess, football and yoga. These successfully develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils learn about different faiths and cultures. This is successful and pupils have a strong understanding of and respect for difference. Pupils learn about citizenship and taking responsibility by engaging with the local community. Pupils support environmental issues such as litter picking. They also raise money for local charities. This has included raising funds for a nearby animal shelter through a pupil singing event.
What the school should improve
- At times, staff do not address any off-task behaviour effectively enough. Where this happens, some pupils do not engage well with their learning. The school should ensure that staff support pupils efficiently so that all pupils benefit fully from learning activities and engage fully with their learning.
- In a few foundation subjects, the school does not use assessment information to address gaps in pupils' learning well enough. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that it uses assessment information to ensure that pupils secure the important knowledge so that they benefit more from the highly ambitious curriculum.
