What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 January 2024

Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary. They are welcoming and friendly members of the school community. Relationships between members of the school are grounded in mutual respect. Pupils express themselves confidently. They recognise the importance of education and develop effective study habits. Pupils benefit significantly from the quality of education that they receive at the school. Pupils respond well to the school's extremely high expectations for what they should know. They develop detailed knowledge of the curriculum. This prepares them well for their next steps in education, employment or training. The school places importance on helping pupils to develop strength of character. Pupils regularly engage in discussions on topical issues. They learn to consider the viewpoints of others. Pupils discuss complex and disputed issues maturely. This supports the inclusive ethos of the school. The school's strong pastoral systems and work with external agencies support pupils' well-being effectively. Pupils hold a range of leadership responsibilities. They have a clear purpose in their roles. In these roles, pupils have influenced changes to matters their peers value, such as school meals. They also take a lead in the school's charitable activities.

What the school should improve

• Some pupils do not access a range of opportunities and experiences that are as rich as those of their peers. There is inconsistency in how effectively the school's personal development offer supports pupils to develop their talents and interests. The school should ensure that pupils consistently benefit from a well-designed personal development offer.
