OFSTED Reports

The school was visited by Ofsted on 5th and 6th December 2023.

The inspectors carried out a graded inspection under section 5 of the Education Act 2005.

The inspectors met with the executive headteacher, the head of school and other senior leaders. Inspectors also met with the chair of trustees, the chief executive officer and other trustees as well as the chair of governors and other members of the governing body.

The inspectors carried out deep dives in these subjects: early reading, mathematics, geography and design and technology. For each deep dive, inspectors held discussions about the curriculum, visited a sample of lessons, spoke to teachers, spoke to some pupils about their learning and looked at samples of pupils’ work. Inspectors also reviewed the curriculum in some other subjects.

To evaluate the effectiveness of safeguarding, the inspectors: reviewed the single central record; took account of the views of leaders, staff and pupils; and considered the extent to which the school has created an open and positive culture around safeguarding that puts pupils’ interests first.

The inspectors also considered the staff’s responses to Ofsted’s survey.

The inspectors observed pupils’ behaviour in the playground and at lunchtime.
