What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 October 2023

Pupils are polite and courteous. They show high levels of respect to all. Pupils learn the school values and work hard to embody them. They demonstrate these through their friendly attitudes during social times and their enthusiasm for learning. Pupils feel safe and have warm relationships with staff. Pupils have adults that they can go to if they have worries. Pupils are eager to learn and they achieve well. They willingly take part in discussions of the topics and use their expanding vocabularies to enrich lively debates. Pupils learn about their local community and their place in the wider world. They show strong acceptance of difference and enjoy learning about a range of cultures and religions. Pupils are proud to attend the school. They enthusiastically represent the school in a range of leadership and representative roles, for example as house captains. Every pupil performs in school concerts or represents the school in a range of sports.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, pupils do not remember skills they have learned and cannot make links between what they have learned in the past and what they are currently learning. This means that some pupils do not deepen their understanding in these subjects fully. Leaders need to ensure that pupils clearly understand what they have learned and why they are learning it in these subjects.
