What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils are proud of their school and are eager to talk about their positive experiences. Pupils typically learn an ambitious curriculum. They work hard and achieve well, including in national assessments. Pupils understand and exemplify the school's ambition of 'doing the right thing because it is the right thing to do'. This helps to create a calm and orderly atmosphere where pupils feel safe and are kept safe. Pupils have a voice in their school. They have a range of leadership opportunities and actively contribute to school life. For example, older pupils read with their younger peers. Similarly, the school council has contributed to decisions about the lunchtime menu, as well as the creation of new clubs such as gardening and coding. Pupils' well-being is carefully considered. For example, pupils look forward to attending 'Dog Club' and spending time with Bella and Teddy, the school dogs. Pupils enjoy representing their school. For example, the netball team and football teams recently won their regional leagues.
What the school should improve
- If a few subjects, assessment is not used precisely to check what pupils have learned. In these instances, some pupils' knowledge and understanding are less secure. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently to check pupils' understanding and to identify and address misconceptions that arise.
