What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
The school's vision of 'Expect the best, achieve success' is clear from the first moment of arrival in the school. Pupils are happy, polite and considerate. They demonstrate exemplary behaviour and attitudes. Bullying and poor behaviour are very rare. Pupils and parents agree that staff would deal with this effectively if it did happen. Adults in school promote positive relationships with each other and with the pupils. Pupils talk positively about the strong collaboration of pupils. Pupils at the school feel safe, and they are safe. Parents agree with this. Regular training for all staff and governors ensures that everyone working in school places a high priority on safeguarding. The school's high expectations for pupil achievement and behaviour are understood and shared by all. These high expectations enable pupils to achieve well. Staff endeavour to identify and nurture individual talents beyond the academic wherever possible. The school's 'Westonbury' festival allows pupils and staff to sing and perform together, for example. A parent's comment reflected the views of many others: 'They really do have the children's best interests at the heart of everything they do.'
What the school should improve
- The school has not fully established the key concepts and knowledge that pupils should learn and remember in a small number of foundation curriculum subjects. This limits pupils' learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that it refines the curriculum so that pupils are able to acquire the intended knowledge consistently across all curriculum subjects.
