What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 February 2025
Pupils are confident and caring. They understand the school's values of 'love, courage and respect' and model these thoughtfully. Pupils learn to keep themselves physically and mentally healthy and know how to stay safe online. Pupils love to take on responsibilities, such as house captains and librarians. They enjoy helping each other. Pupils know the importance of being kind and supportive within and outside of their school community. Pupils learn the curriculum well. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs identified quickly. The school adapts provision for these pupils expertly. Staff understand how to support the individual needs of different pupils effectively. Pupils feel safe and know that they can turn to trusted adults if they are ever worried or have any concerns. At break times pupils share, take turns and play happily. If any pupils find managing their own behaviour challenging, they receive the help that they need. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour, but at times these expectations are not made clear for some pupils. Despite this, most pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are positive.
What the school should improve
- At times, some pupils are not clear about what behaviour is expected from them. As a result, some pupils' behaviour in some lessons does not meet the school's high expectations. Some elements of those lessons are not as purposeful as they could be. The school should ensure that the newly developed behaviour policy is implemented consistently and effectively, and that staff expectations for pupils' behaviour are made clear for pupils.
- In a small number of subjects, the school's assessment strategies are not used effectively enough to enable teachers to check how well pupils are learning the curriculum. This means that a small proportion of pupils struggle to apply what they have learned previously to new concepts. The school should ensure that teachers check pupils' prior learning effectively across the full curriculum.
