What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this welcoming and inclusive school. There is an ambitious vision for the school that is articulated from leaders at all levels, including governors. They want pupils to achieve their best. The pupils love to learn and follow a broad curriculum. They take pride in their work and achieve well. There is a real sense of community between pupils, staff, parents and carers. Pupils understand their school values of 'be ready, be safe and be respectful'. They demonstrate these throughout the school day during lessons and with their friends on the playground. Pupils are also proud of their school ethos, 'let your light shine', with one pupil describing this as the importance of being yourself. Leaders set high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, sometimes, these are not as well realised through targeted teaching for those who require more support than others. Pupils feel safe and cared for. They are friendly and polite. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and throughout school is positive. They trust staff to sort out any unkind behaviour.
What the school should improve
- Persistent absence remains high for some pupils and they miss too much school. These pupils are not learning as much as they should. Leaders should continue to look at different ways to improve pupils' attendance that builds on the work they have already undertaken.
- Some pupils do not read as often as they should. As a result, these pupils do not consolidate their reading skills through enough practice and do not develop a wider enjoyment of reading. Leaders should make sure that developing a love of reading is promoted more widely.
- Sometimes, staff do not establish precise enough targets for pupils with SEND. This means that the support that is given to these pupils does not always enable them to make as much progress as they could. Leaders should ensure that extra support for pupils with SEND is well targeted, effective and meets their needs.
