What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2023
Pupils benefit from attending this highly inclusive school. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are given the help they need to achieve well. Subsequently, all pupils progress well through the curriculum. Pupils recognise and appreciate the support from the school. They trust that decisions are made in their best interests. As a result, pupils work hard to meet the high expectations of the school. The school's core values of 'empathy, respect, trust, perseverance, teamwork, and pride' are clear to see through the whole community. Pupils understand the importance of showing these and do so well. This is most evident in the commitment they show to their various leadership roles. Whether as school councillors, eco-warriors, equalities and rights advocates or playground buddies, pupils are proud to play an important part in helping others in their community. Social times are harmonious and safe environments. Pupils show high levels of respect for each other and for the adults who help them. Pupils are considerate and calm in how they move around the school. They know the routines and rules that the school expects of them, and they support each other to stick to them.
What the school should improve
- There are changes to a small number of foundation subjects which are not yet embedded across the school. This means that pupils are not learning as well as they could across the entire curriculum. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge they need in all curriculum areas to ensure that pupils can build coherent knowledge effectively over time.
- Persistent absence of the most vulnerable pupils remains high. This means that these pupils do not fully benefit from all that school has to offer. The school should now carefully consider what additional strategies and support the most vulnerable families need to further improve attendance.
