What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 May 2024
This is a happy and nurturing school where adults know the pupils well. Leaders have created a respectful and inclusive environment. Pupils feel safe in school, and are kept safe. Pupils understand and model the school values of respect, self-belief, determination and resilience. Consequently, behaviour in lessons and at play time is typically calm and orderly. Pupils know that adults will deal with any concerns that may arise. The school is ambitious for all pupils, this includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Appropriate adaptations and support are provided to help pupils learn effectively. The school has been refining and developing the curriculum. Pupils work hard and produce work of good quality. However, the recent changes to aspects of the curriculum are not fully embedded or reflected in the published outcomes which pupils achieve. There are a range of leadership opportunities for pupils. These include being sports captains, play leaders and safeguarding leads. The school council represents pupils' views. For example, it has contributed to the reorganisation of the playtime rotas.
What the school should improve
- A few subjects are less well designed. In these instances, the knowledge that pupils need is not as clearly identified. As a result, there is not sufficient focus on teaching or checking whether pupils understand the most important content. This limits the depth of understanding some pupils secure in these subjects. The school needs to ensure that the curriculum in each subject identifies and sequences the important ideas which pupils need to learn. The school should also ensure that the curriculum is consistently implemented so that pupils secure the depth of understanding they should in different subjects.
- The systems for evaluating the impact of the school's work are not consistently focused on checking the most important priorities. As a result, oversight is sometimes not sufficiently concentrated on the most significant areas. The school should ensure that the systems for evaluation are sharply focused on identifying and checking the most significant priorities.
