What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are happy in this welcoming and friendly environment. They have strong relationships with staff. They feel cared for. Pupils explained that they like and respect each other, regardless of any differences that they may have. They treat each other with kindness. Pupils rise to the high expectations that the school has for their behaviour and achievement. This is reflected in pupils' positive attitudes to learning and their high aspirations. Pupils are proud to be recognised as 'top students' in assemblies. They strive to embody the school's motto to 'believe, achieve and succeed.' Most pupils achieve well. Pupils value the opportunities that they have to develop new talents and interests. For example, the debating club allows pupils to discuss a range of local, national, and international topics. Pupils enjoy boxing, sports, business, and meditation clubs. They benefit from trips and visits to museums and different places of interest. These experiences help pupils to develop self-esteem and confidence. Pupils also make a positive contribution to the life of the school and to the wider community. For example, the student council has been proactive in making changes to the school uniform. They also organise events to support the community such as collections for a homeless shelter.
What the school should improve
- For some pupils with SEND, staff do not effectively adapt the delivery of the curriculum to meet their needs. As a result, these pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff receive appropriate support and training to meet pupils' individual needs effectively.
