What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
The school community provides a close and caring ethos in which everyone is welcomed. New pupils settle in quickly. Pupils are enthusiastic about all the school has to offer, including educational visits, residential trips and a wide range of clubs including sports, music and languages. The school has high expectations that every pupil 'shines as a light'. The school enables pupils to achieve well across a broad range of subjects. It ensures that all pupils have opportunities and gain interests in which they excel. Weekly assemblies celebrate the achievements of pupil heroes and stars across all aspects of life in the school. Pupils benefit from taking on responsibilities. Older pupils expressed the importance of being role models for those in younger years and looking after the school environment. Members of the pupil eco council raise awareness about recycling. Reflective-area monitors help to maintain spaces around the school dedicated to helping pupils to feel calm and peaceful. Pupils play together and socialise excitedly at breaktimes. They understand the importance of being kind and considerate. The school's approach 'to use a friendly voice, then firm voice and finally find an adult' works well if ever any issues need to be resolved. Pupils are safe in school.
What the school should improve
- In a very few subjects, the specific content the school intends pupils to learn lacks precision. Pupils' learning does not build up to more complex ideas. The school should ensure that the school's revised curriculum is rapidly established, identifying the key knowledge and skills pupils learn and apply to deeper concepts.
