What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 June 2024

This is an inclusive and welcoming place for pupils to attend. It is ambitious for all its pupils to succeed and to receive a broad and balanced curriculum. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included in school life. In the additionally resourced provision base for pupils with autism (ARB), staff identify pupils' needs carefully and provide skilful support. The school makes exceptional provision to support pupils with autism. The school is generally a calm and orderly environment. Pupils are friendly and polite. Pupils said that staff sort things out quickly when any concerns occur. In some classes, learning is occasionally impacted by off task behaviour. Family support and pupils' well-being are key priorities for this school. Pupils are kept safe. They value their leadership roles such as school councillors, learning and well-being ambassadors and reading buddies. Pupils look forward to residential trips and visitors to the school. They were positive about recent trips to a gallery, museum and the embassy of Portugal.

What the school should improve

  • The school's new behaviour procedures are not implemented consistently. Some behaviour in lessons prevents pupils from fully accessing the curriculum. This reduces how well pupils are able to understand and remember their learning. The school needs to further develop their work about the implementation of the behaviour policy and ensure that all staff follow the guidance and expectations consistently.
  • In some subjects, the leadership and implementation of the curriculum are at an early stage of development. As a result, some pupils' recall of important subject content is not fully secure. The school needs to continue to prioritise developing the expertise of teachers and subject leaders, so that pupils develop the knowledge and skills to achieve well in all subjects.
