What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 November 2023

'I love Cage Green and I know Cage Green loves me,' was how one pupil explained what it is like to attend this happy, friendly and successful school. Pupils know well the school's values of determination, excellence, integrity, respect and responsibility. From a young age, pupils embrace these and aspire to meet them. They become confident, well-rounded and respectful individuals. Pupils are inspired and empowered to become active citizens and leaders in many different ways. They are proud to be members of the eco-committee, justice league or anti- bullying ambassadors, to name just a few. Pupils are also impeccably polite and respectful. They hold doors for others and reply, 'You're welcome' when thanked for doing this. In lessons, pupils show impressive levels of focus and concentration, including in the Phoenix Centre. Pupils are highly motivated and enthusiastic about learning. They rise to the high expectations that this aspirational school has for them. At breaktimes, an imaginative range of pallets, tyres, tubes, guttering and ropes promote pupils' curiosity, creativity and teamwork. This is typical of the careful thought that has gone into everything that pupils experience. The school takes any rare anti-social behaviour extremely seriously and deals with it well.

What the school should improve

  • More refinement is needed for the school to secure the highest quality of education and consistently excellent outcomes that it desires for all pupils in all things. There is more to do to ensure that the last remaining subjects are as comprehensively developed as others, and to fully eradicate some minor variabilities in how effectively different aspects of the curriculum, teaching and assessment are realised. The school should continue to implement its proven and successful strategy and approach to school improvement, so that the quality of education the school aims for and intends is embedded consistently and securely.
