What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 December 2024
The school's values of 'confidence, hope, understanding, respect, community and honesty' underpin its work. Pupils understand these values well.

Pupils are polite and respectful to each other and staff. Most pupils have positive attitudes to learning. Staff use praise well to reinforce the school's expectations. Pupils are able to develop their character through the school's leadership opportunities. Pupils are sports leaders and school councillors. They also enjoy being part of the 'diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging' group, which carries out assemblies on equality. Pupils take part in regular enrichment sessions. They participate in outdoor tasks, team- building activities and learn how to care for the environment.
What the school should improve
- At times, the school does not check pupils' understanding of their learning effectively. This means that, sometimes, pupils' misconceptions and gaps in learning are not identified and addressed. As a result, some pupils do not learn as well as they could in some subjects. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge and skills to check pupils' understanding in order to address their gaps in learning or any misconceptions they may have.
