What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Pupils are incredibly proud to attend this happy and welcoming school. The school's values of 'togetherness, resilience, equality, curiosity and kindness' sit at the heart of all the school's work. The school has the highest ambition for pupils, both in their learning and behaviour. Pupils rise to meet these expectations. Pupils are safe, happy and enjoy coming to school. Pupils are keen to learn. They talk with enthusiasm about their learning. Pupils benefit from a broad and interesting curriculum that opens their eyes to the world around them. Classrooms are calm and purposeful places. The school offers pupils a range of wider opportunities. These excite and engage the pupils while enhancing their learning. Pupils behave consistently well in lessons and during social times. Pupils demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness towards one another. They display positive attitudes to learning. The relationships between adults and pupils are extremely warm. Staff know their pupils well and value them as individuals. Pupils trust staff to look after them. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive highly effective support. They are fully involved in the life of the school.

What the school should improve

  • In the wider curriculum, the school's processes for subject leaders to monitor the impact of the curriculum are in the early stages of implementation. As a result, the school lacks a detailed understanding of how well pupils are learning. The school should ensure that in the wider curriculum, robust monitoring processes provide staff with sufficient information about how well pupils are learning and where adjustments to the curriculum may be necessary.
  • Some pupils do not attend school as regularly as they should. This means they miss out on learning important knowledge in the curriculum. The school should continue to work with families to improve pupils' attendance and ensure that the strategies in place are having a measurable impact.
