What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 May 2024

Pupils feel valued and cared for as part of this close school community. The warm and friendly approach from staff encourages pupils to be positive about their learning and to feel safe. Strong trusting relationships mean pupils are confident to talk to adults about any worries or concerns they might have. Pupils are very accepting of each other and are keen to recognise diversity. They learn about major world religions and positively respect the different beliefs and opinions of others. There are many extra-curricular opportunities available, including clubs, trips and visits that enrich pupils' education. Many pupils benefit from taking part in these, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders and staff are ambitious for all pupils. The school's values underpin its work and are embedded into pupils' experiences. Pupils demonstrate these values in their daily interactions with their peers and staff. They are kind, caring and considerate of others. The behaviour of pupils is purposeful and considerate. On rare occasions when this is not the case, the school has effective systems to address this. If bullying occurs, the school takes appropriate steps to prevent this from reoccurring. As a result, pupils feel confident that staff will help to resolve issues. Pupils are proud to earn rewards for their good conduct and achievements.

What the school should improve

• The curriculum in some subjects is not yet consistently implemented. This means that pupils do not always achieve as highly in these subjects as they do in others. The school should continue with their planned developments to embed the curriculum, helping pupils to learn equally well across every subject.
