What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils flourish in this calm and compassionate school environment. Pupils are happy and feel safe. The school has a highly inclusive ethos and is ambitious for everyone. Pupils know teachers are always on hand to help if they find work tricky. Pupils are enthusiastic about learning and show high levels of focus in lessons. The school rules remind pupils to be 'ready, respectful and responsible' and they endeavour to do their best. Most pupils achieve exceptionally well. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) make great progress through the curriculum from their starting points.
Pupils develop a strong sense of responsibility and community involvement. The school council provides a platform for pupils to learn about democracy, make decisions and contribute positively to school life. This develops a strong sense of self-belief and empowerment in pupils. The school's ambition for pupils to be 'ready to change the world' is embodied in many ways, one of which is the way they responsibly lead lunchtime clubs.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school's curriculum is broad, interesting and ambitious. The key knowledge and vocabulary pupils need to learn and by when is clearly set out. As pupils journey through the school's curriculum, they make connections between different concepts. For example, pupils use their knowledge of the human body in science when they look at the impact of exercise in physical education (PE). Pupils frequently recap their learning to check that their knowledge is secure. Teachers present information clearly. They take time to carefully model new techniques and skills precisely. Teachers regularly check pupils' learning and make appropriate adaptations to teaching. Staff adapt teaching very effectively for pupils with SEND. This helps them to achieve success. It allows everyone to learn together and access the curriculum.
Pupils with SEND benefit greatly from the time they spend in the school's quiet and calming spaces. They get the extra help they need to achieve their individual targets.
