Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils are polite and friendly at this large, caring and inclusive school. They greet visitors with warmth and respect. Pupils feel safe and happy in school and appreciate how adults take time to listen and help them. Pupils say that 'everyone is treated equally and staff always make us feel good about ourselves.' They say that bullying is not a problem and any rare occurrences are quickly sorted out.

The school's motto 'believe and achieve' is lived out throughout all aspects of school life. Staff are ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Teaching supports pupils to learn the planned curriculum and, overall, pupils achieve well.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

The school's curriculum is ambitious, engaging and well structured. It enables pupils to learn essential knowledge, ideas and vocabulary successfully. Lessons and additional workshops help pupils to understand how their learning prepares them for the future. For example, older pupils apply their mathematical skills in financial management workshops. Pupils talk articulately about their learning. For example, when talking about art, pupils can discuss and compare a range of artists and talk about art movements throughout history.

In key stage 2 lessons, staff use questioning skilfully to check and deepen pupils' understanding. However, this is not as consistent in key stage 1. Consequently, sometimes pupils do not have a firm grasp of the concepts being taught. On other occasions, some pupils who are ready to move on with their learning, do not move on quickly enough.
