What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 March 2022
This is a happy school that sits at the heart of the community. Pupils enjoy coming to school. They work hard and behave well. Pupils are safe and are well cared for. Leaders celebrate individuality and diversity through their vision of 'strength through difference'. They have created an environment with high ambitions for every pupil. Pupils respond to these expectations very well. They say that adults have 'a great influence on us to have a positive future'. Pupils always display positive attitudes to their learning and get on with their work quickly. They work hard and achieve well. Pupils get on with each other when discussing their work and in the playground. They know what bullying is and say that it does not happen. They know that the adults will listen to them and help if they are worried about anything. Pupils have lots of opportunities to be involved in school life. Their opinions are important to leaders. Pupils are keen to take on responsibilities and are proud of the work they do to help others. The head girl and the head boy led the design of a healthy lunch menu that is very popular. Eco-warriors make sure everyone knows about the recycling of plastics and paper. There are a range of clubs beyond the school day, such as Taekwondo and gymnastics. Pupils also have residential trips that enhance their learning in class.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils with SEND do not get enough individual support during whole class sessions to be clear about their learning. Occasionally, this can prevent pupils from learning the knowledge and skills that leaders expect. Leaders should share examples of good practice in school more widely and, in turn, help pupils overcome barriers to learning.
