What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Pupils feel happy and safe here, demonstrating a sense of pride towards their school. Clear and consistent routines ensure pupils behave well and focus on their learning within a calm and purposeful environment. At social times, pupils show respect to staff and to each other. Pupils are protected from bullying and know staff take any concerns seriously. The curriculum demonstrates high ambition for all pupils. Teachers use their expert knowledge of the subjects they teach to design pupils' learning. They have high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Teachers encourage pupils to build their vocabulary and remember what they learn. Pupils benefit from daily reading sessions that encourage a love for reading. The school is ambitious for pupils' futures. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, are encouraged to become 'leaders for tomorrow'. They enjoy opportunities to develop their character. Pupils take part in careers visits to a university campus and other cultural outings. The school offers a range of extra-curricular activities to pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils' understanding is not systematically checked, including for those at the earliest stages of reading and/or with SEND. This means that some pupils are not able to benefit from the content being taught. The school should ensure that assessment is used consistently well. This will help staff to make appropriate adaptations, so that all pupils are able to access the curriculum.
- A small number of pupils take a passive approach to their learning during lessons. As a result, learning time is lost for some pupils. The school should ensure that these pupils are consistently identified and supported to access the intended learning and wider life of the school.
