What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 December 2022
The school radiates a friendly and caring atmosphere. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils, including children in the early years, for their behaviour and achievement. Children and pupils respond well to them. Pupils are polite and respectful. Staff foster positive and trusting relationships with pupils. Pupils achieve well in most subjects. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and are happy here. Pupils embrace the school's values. They learn about the importance of respecting differences between people. Pupils behave well. In lessons, they are keen to learn and support each other well. On the very rare occasions on which bullying occurs, it is reported and dealt with effectively. Pupils benefit from well-chosen experiences that bring learning to life. These include visits to places of interest, such as Ribchester to learn about Romans and Brockholes to learn about aspects of geography. Pupils enjoy taking part in clubs and sports, such as dodgeball, dance and cookery. Many pupils have opportunities to learn to play the ukulele. Pupils have won competitions in football and gymnastics.
What the school should improve
- In a very small number of subjects, leaders have not finalised their curriculum thinking. They are in the process of refining exactly what pupils should learn and in what order. This is hindering some pupils from learning as well as they could. In the remaining few subjects, leaders should ensure that they refine the curriculum further to identify the important knowledge and skills that pupils should learn. This will help pupils to develop their understanding over time in these subjects.
