What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
This is a friendly school, where everyone receives a warm welcome. Many pupils join the school at different points and only attend for a short period of time. Some of these pupils are new to the country or have not attended school before. They settle in quickly and make friends. Pupils enjoy coming to school every day and feel safe. Most pupils focus on their learning and want to do well. They engage with the tasks that they are doing and will ask for help when they need it. They know that the staff want them to do their best and are there to support them when they need it. Pupils take pride in their work and achieve well. The majority of pupils understand behaviour expectations and they meet them, in lessons and at playtime. Pupils enjoy a variety of trips and visits that link to the work that they are doing within the curriculum. They enjoy the additional opportunities that they have available to them, for example singing and bicycle safety sessions. Sporting opportunities are vast; these include yoga, boccia and table tennis. There are also competitive and non-competitive sporting opportunities, which the school is successful in, and pupils enjoy.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, assessment processes are not yet in place. In these subjects, teachers and leaders do not check what pupils know and can remember and therefore cannot build on pupils' knowledge or address misconceptions successfully. The school should ensure that effective processes are put in place to check what pupils have understood and use this information to inform next steps in learning.
- In a few subjects, the key knowledge and vocabulary that pupils need to know are not clearly identified. Therefore, pupils are not taught the subject-specific knowledge or vocabulary in detail. The school should ensure that key knowledge and vocabulary are clearly identified in all subjects so that teachers know what to teach and when.
