What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 July 2025
Pupils are happy and cheerful. They enjoy their lessons. Pupils feel safe in school. They know their teachers will always look after them. The school has high expectations for pupils. Nothing is considered a barrier to learning for any group of pupils. Pupils work hard in lessons and most reach the high expectations. Pupils typically behave well. They are polite, respectful and well mannered. Pupils' relationships with adults support their learning well. The school makes the personal development of pupils an exceptionally high priority. The Alexandra Promise gives pupils opportunities to access life skills and opportunities which go far beyond the academic. The school provides a vast range of enrichment opportunities in a carefully planned, highly structured and evaluated way. The school identifies pupils who have particular talents. It then works to enhance these further. Staff encourage pupils to have their own views. Pupils learn how to become extremely responsible and active citizens, both in school and the local community. Pupils have a real impact in the local community. They contributed towards the new Mosque that was built for the community, and this also means the ladies then had their own facilities. Pupils later visited the Mosque to see the impact of their work.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, the school does not ensure that teachers explain subject-specific vocabulary with enough clarity. As a result, pupils are not always secure in their understanding of key terms. The school should ensure teachers consistently explain important vocabulary with precision so that pupils can access the curriculum and build on their learning over time.
- In some lessons, the school's behaviour policy is not applied consistently. This affects the learning of some pupils. The school should ensure expectations for behaviour are reinforced consistently so that pupils can learn without disruption.
