What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Pupils enjoy school. They feel safe and listened to. The school's values of 'respect to all, from all' are evident throughout the school. Pupils show positive attitudes to their learning. They come to lessons well prepared and ready to learn. Pupils listen to each other respectfully and follow the teachers' instructions. Pupils behave well around school. They socialise well together at break and lunchtimes. Pupils are confident that teachers deal with any bullying issues promptly and effectively. Pupil leadership roles are embedded in the life of the school. Pupils can take on a range of different leadership roles, from literacy or subject leaders to house captains. Sixth-form students model leadership skills. For example, they raise money for local charities and support younger pupils through reading or mentoring activities. Pupils live up to the school's high expectations. The school has embraced digital technology. Pupils benefit from the opportunities created by using their own digital device. In most lessons, pupils learn and achieve well.
What the school should improve
- On a small number of occasions, the curriculum at key stage 3 and 4 is not implemented effectively. Weaknesses exist in how new information is delivered, how pupils are helped to remember new ideas and the methods used to check that pupils understand their learning. This limits the progress some pupils make. Leaders should work with staff to ensure that the curriculum is delivered effectively in every subject.
- Pupils do not consistently benefit from opportunities in lessons to build their literacy skills. This means that some pupils have fewer opportunities to regularly practice their reading and speaking. Leaders should ensure their planned approach to reading and speaking in lessons is consistently applied in all subject areas.
