Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Everyone receives a warm welcome at this happy school. Pupils know that this is a place where diversity is not just valued, it is cherished. As one pupil commented: 'You can be who you want to be at Disraeli.' They know that 'learning is a journey, not a race', and that hard work and determination help them to succeed. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes and achievement across a broad range of subjects.
Pupils behave well and live up to their teachers' high expectations. They are courteous and respectful. Pupils readily hold doors open for others, offering friendly greetings and thanks to staff and their classmates. Pupils rightly value staff's kindness and strong support and care. This helps children in early years to settle in quickly and feel safe and secure. Throughout the school, this nurturing approach instils pupils with the confidence to share any worries and to seek help when needed.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Ambition, integrity and a determined, moral purpose for every pupil to succeed are the underpinning principles of the school's leadership. Highly effective leadership has steered the school exceptionally well through some difficult challenges. During this time, the school has maintained its sharp focus on the quality of education. This has led to improvements in outcomes. As a result, most pupils are achieving well.
Nevertheless, there are some inconsistencies in the quality of pupils' writing. The school has recognised this and has recently implemented a new writing strategy. This is at an early stage and not yet fully embedded. Therefore, it is too soon to see the full impact of this work. Rightly, the school is also focusing sharply on improving disadvantaged pupils' achievement. However, there is still more work to do to raise these pupils' achievement and realise leaders' high aspirations for them.
