What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 March 2024

Pupils enjoy attending school. This is because there is a culture of warmth and inclusivity that proudly embraces diversity and unity. Pupils look after each other and enjoy spending time with their friends. They show respect and kindness towards adults and their peers. There are many opportunities for personal development. For example, pupils learn that individual characteristics make them unique. Pupils exhibit the school's core values of equality and tolerance. Themed assemblies ensure that initiatives like anti- bullying week and Black History Month help pupils understand the importance of empathy and understanding towards others. Peer mediators proudly act as role models to younger pupils. They help them to resolve minor issues should they occur. Incidents of bullying are rare, but if it does happen, staff deal with it swiftly. This ensures pupils feel safe and are kept safe in school. Leaders and staff have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, the school is a calm environment during class and social times. Pupils behave well and learning is rarely disrupted.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, the curriculum is not implemented with the consistent precision leaders intend. As a result, some pupils do not secure the depth of knowledge and understanding they should. The school should ensure the implementation of the curriculum in each subject is checked so that any necessary support or professional development can be provided.
