School Description

Pupils enjoy coming to school. They know the school’s values well and are polite and courteous. Pupils told inspectors that behaviour in school could be better, both in lessons and on the playground. Inspectors noticed that sometimes poor behaviour gets in the way of pupils’ learning. Pupils also stated that bullying occurs, but staff are not always quick to resolve it. Pupils attend well, and few are frequently absent. Pupils’ attitudes toward learning are mainly strong, but less so towards writing. Teachers do not adapt the curriculum to match the needs of pupils well enough. When pupils struggle, most would ask for help. Some pupils, however, told inspectors they do not feel comfortable asking for help and would rather copy a friend’s work. Over time, pupils do not build on their previous high attainment. Most pupils state that they feel safe in school and parents agree. However, staff and leaders are not fulfilling their safeguarding responsibilities well enough. Staff do not always deal with concerns about pupils’ welfare.

“Much improved”

"> This school has had a major shakeup regarding leadership so whilst I can sympathise with previous review there is no doubt that much has changed this academic year. From a parental point of view there seems to have been a sea-change in vision and mgt outlook. I would strongly recommend that prospective parents go and have a look around.
“Be wary”

"> The academic teaching is good. However their communication looks good on the face of it with newsletters and good website but if you try to contact any of the senior team they do not respond quickly and sometimes not at all. Parents are never asked their opinion and some are unhappy with various aspects of the school. In my experience, parents are kept firmly out of their child's education unless it is a "showcase" event like mass, special assembly, etc. The last OFSTED is now really out of date. My children are near the end of their time at the school and there has been no inspection the whole time they've been there.
