What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
Pupils relish coming to this warm and friendly school. Pupils enjoy shining brightly as learners. They benefit from the school's high ambitions and expectations. They show motivation to learn new things and are eager to share their knowledge. Most pupils achieve well, as they remember much of what they have been taught. Pupils behave well. The school is a happy place to be. Pupils feel safe and that staff know them well. Pupils have warm, mutually respectful relationships with everyone in the school. Staff help pupils to recognise their emotions so that they can manage them successfully. Pupils show consideration for each other. At lunchtime, pupils care for peers who may be hurt or sad. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to take on responsibility and support each other. This helps them to think about how they communicate with others. For example, 'road safety officers' educate their peers on how to cross the roads near the school safely. Pupils also fundraise for local, national and global charities. They are proud of how they have helped to buy sanitary equipment for a school in Africa. This helps pupils to develop empathy for others.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects in the wider curriculum, learning is not adapted well enough to meet pupils' specific needs. This means that some pupils with SEND are not achieving as well as they could. The school should develop the expertise of staff in being able to adapt their teaching to meet pupils' needs in these subjects.
- In a few subjects, where the curriculum is still being embedded, assessment does not support pupils' learning sufficiently well. This means that pupils develop gaps in their learning that have not been identified or addressed swiftly enough. The school should support staff to routinely check pupils' understanding of the key content and then use this information to inform future teaching so these gaps in learning are closed.
