What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2022
Throughout the school, there is a feeling of inclusivity, warmth and determination to succeed. Leaders, staff and pupils work well together to create this atmosphere. Pupils are proud of their 'BEST' values: 'believe, excel, strive, together'. These are the foundation stones which help pupils to become active members of this school community where they develop into well rounded and confident young citizens. This is enhanced by the wide range of rich experiences that leaders ensure that all pupils have. Pupils take genuine ownership of the school community and are highly motivated to make it the best it can be. They listen to each other and reflect on different views with thought and interest. Pupils behave well and show support and care for each other. Bullying is rare. Staff build strong and purposeful relationships with pupils and their families. Pupils recognise that staff want the absolute best for them. The mutual trust and respect this creates lead to pupils having very positive attitudes towards their learning. Pupils are inspired by the high ambition their teachers have for them. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have their needs met well.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not embedded all of their changes to the curriculum. This means that pupils are not consistently learning well across the entire curriculum. Leaders should ensure that staff have the knowledge they need in all curriculum areas to ensure that pupils can build coherent knowledge effectively over time.
- Some governors do not fully understand their statutory duties. This means that they do not provide consistently focused challenge to school leaders. Governors need to ensure that they are all fully trained and precise in their monitoring of the school's work.
- Persistent absence of the most vulnerable pupils remains too high. These pupils are not fully benefitting from all that school has to offer. Leaders should now carefully consider what additional strategies and support, both within and external to the school, the most vulnerable families need to further improve attendance.
