What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 September 2022

Leaders have high expectations for pupils. They have made changes to the way subjects are taught across the school in recent time. This is because they want pupils to enjoy learning and make strong connections between what they learn across subjects. Typically, parents and carers are supportive of the changes. Pupils achieve well overall. Pupils are happy in school. At breaktimes, they enjoy playing with the hula-hoops, balls and on the school's climbing frame. Pupils are safe and feel safe. Typically, pupils behave sensibly. Pupils are taught how to recognise different types of bullying, and what to do should it happen in school. Leaders deal with any incidents of bullying and follow them up appropriately. Pupils enjoy opportunities to take on responsibilities in the school. Pupils are taught about democratic processes. They vote for school council representatives, a head boy and a head girl. Pupils are proud to hold these positions and represent their school. Pupils enjoy taking part in competitions and events together with other schools. For instance, pupils were excited about the upcoming sporting events, including a football tournament.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, leaders have not identified or sequenced important subject knowledge from the early years well enough. As a result, pupils have some gaps in their subject knowledge. Leaders must ensure that important subject-specific knowledge is identified and sequenced thoroughly in all subjects.
