What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 28 February 2024

Leaders are determined that all pupils, whatever their starting point, succeed academically. Pupils typically achieve very well in a wide range of subjects and, as a result, are well prepared for the next stage of their education, employment or training. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) follow the same ambitious curriculum as their peers. However, some do not consistently receive the support they need to achieve as well as they could. The school's warm and friendly ethos is reflected in pupils' excellent behaviour and highly positive relationships with each other and with staff. Pupils show respect in lessons and when moving around the school site. Bullying is not tolerated, and staff are vigilant. Pupils, and students in the sixth form, are happy and kept safe in school. They trust staff to help them if they have any concerns. The school has a well-established personal development curriculum that supports pupils to develop confidence and resilience. The school promotes equality of opportunity and diversity, for example through Culture Day and the celebration of Black History Month. Students in the sixth form quickly develop as independent learners. They are encouraged to take on leadership responsibility and to act as role models, for example as reading mentors for younger pupils.

What the school should improve

  • Over time, pupils with SEND have not consistently received the specific support they need. As a result, some pupils' needs have not been appropriately met and they have not secured the knowledge they need to progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that training and information are provided so that the needs of pupils are fully considered when making adaptations to activities.
  • In some instances, the tasks pupils complete do not consistently match the ambition of the planned curriculum. This means that pupils do not fully develop the depth of understanding they need to tackle future learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented with consistent ambition.
