What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils become confident and independent learners at this highly inclusive and aspirational school. They behave well and show great kindness to one another. Pupils understand the school's values of cooperation, respect, care, patience, perseverance and responsibility. They embrace these values to help them make good choices, meeting the high expectations staff have for them. Pupils love coming to school where they know they can trust staff to keep them safe. Diversity is encouraged, explored and celebrated. Pupils thoroughly enjoy learning about each other's beliefs and experiences. They know that everyone is equal and that their opinions matter. Parents appreciate the many positive steps that the school has taken recently. They comment, rightly, that the school's academic and wider offer has been strengthened. For example, there are now a range of ways that pupils can make a positive difference to the school community. Roles such as the 'youth parliament' and 'eco- council' are increasingly important and valued. Pupils enjoy attending a range of extra-curricular clubs such as the popular gardening and puzzles clubs. Leaders select these carefully to develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils benefit from a range of enrichment activities, such as visiting local theatres and museums.
What the school should improve
- In the wider curriculum, the use of assessment does not always identify where pupils' misconceptions lie precisely enough. Therefore, a few pupils do not learn as much as they could. The school should ensure that the use of assessment identifies and remedies gaps in pupils' understanding in all areas of the curriculum.
- In a few subjects, some teachers do not present learning to pupils as clearly as they could. This means that sometimes, pupils do not learn as much as the school intends. The school should make sure that all staff have the knowledge and skills they need to help pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
