What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 September 2023
Blaise High School has undergone a period of significant and rapid change. The school expects all pupils to achieve well. It aims to 'enable every pupil to climb their own personal mountain to the very best universities'. Pupils learn in a calm, purposeful and safe environment. The school has established how it expects pupils to behave. If poor behaviour occurs, it is not tolerated and so does not interrupt learning. Pupils behave well around the school site. They develop positive relationships with each other and with staff. However, some pupils are not clear why these expectations are important. The school provides an array of enrichment opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests. Pupils enjoy sports, music, chess and creative clubs. Some older pupils take part in outdoor adventure challenges, which develop their character. Year 7 pupils enjoy attending an overnight camp. Pupils who attend the specially resourced provision for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (specially resourced provision) have a thoughtfully designed enrichment programme, which enhances their wider development.
What the school should improve
- The school's approach to behaviour management is not fully understood by some pupils. Consequently, a few pupils still struggle to understand the most appropriate way to behave. The trust must ensure that all pupils know the impact of poor behaviour choices. The trust should help these pupils to develop an intrinsic understanding and motivation to behave well.
- The school has not communicated with some parents and carers well enough. Consequently, they express dissatisfaction with some aspects of the school's work. Leaders should explore how they can extend opportunities to engage with such parents in a positive and constructive way.
- The implementation of the PSHE curriculum is not consistently effective across the school. This means that some pupils have a limited understanding of essential content. The trust must ensure that all staff have the confidence and expertise to enable all pupils to learn about social issues in preparation for life in school and the world beyond school.
