What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 October 2023

Pupils rise to the school's high expectations because they understand that a positive environment is beneficial for everyone. As a result, they behave well and are considerate. Pupils are taught how to debate and discuss. They use these skills in lesson discussions and to make the most of 'pupil voice' activities to express their views. Pupils benefit from how well teachers know what each individual needs in order to achieve well. Staff use the school's innovative technology to make sure that all pupils receive the help and feedback they need to improve their learning. Pupils recognise this and are consistently keen to improve their knowledge. Pupils value how the school helps them understand their own well-being and how to stay safe. They consider staff to be caring and are confident that staff will help when needed. Pupils are encouraged to be ambitious in considering their aspirations for their life beyond school. This includes useful careers sessions, which pupils look forward to. The school's enrichment programme is developing as the school grows. Pupils participate in a wide range of clubs and activities, including sports and cultural events. Pupils can recollect fond memories of performances and trips that they have enjoyed.

What the school should improve

• There is variation in how well the school's curriculum is implemented in a small number of subjects. This means that pupils are not always learning as much as they could. The school must continue to develop teachers' skills and understanding of the curriculum as it is embedded across the school.
