What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils arrive each day keen and excited to learn. As one pupil explained, 'The best thing about school is getting to discover new things.' Staff have high aspirations for pupils' learning. Pupils learn from a broad and interesting curriculum. Teachers encourage each pupil to achieve their best, regardless of their starting point. Pupils rise to the challenge and work hard in lessons. They learn to read exceptionally well. Pupils behave well. This is because leaders frequently explain and reinforce their expectations for pupils' conduct. Pupils understand that at all times they should 'be ready, be respectful, be safe'. Bullying is infrequent. Pupils hardly consider it a concern. Despite this, leaders support pupils to share any worries they may have by providing 'TED' boxes. Pupils use these to 'tell', 'explain' and 'describe' what support they may need. Pupils feel secure in the knowledge that staff are there to help them. Pupils are happy. Staff and pupils enjoy each other's company and have warm and respectful relationships. Pupils go out of their way to help each other. The 'playground pals' encourage younger pupils to enjoy break time activities. They organise fun games, ensuring that everyone has the chance to play and take part.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not yet have the secure subject and teaching knowledge to be able to deliver the curriculum well. This means that pupils do not always learn as well as they could. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that staff are well trained to teach the full breadth of the curriculum.
- Leaders have not yet ensured that there are consistently precise procedures in place to check pupils' learning across the full curriculum. In some subjects, teachers are not always clear about the gaps in pupils' knowledge and do not adapt their teaching accordingly. Consequently, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that teachers have the expertise to check what pupils know and remember.
