What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Parents and carers speak very highly about the school. Almost all would recommend it. They emphasise the high quality of pastoral care and support given to their children. Pupils are safe, happy and looked after well. Leaders have high expectations for pupils. This includes for their behaviour. Pupils behave well and show positive attitudes to their learning. Staff enjoy working with pupils. They give them plenty of help and encouragement. Sixth-form students feel well supported with their academic studies. 'Report it, sort it' is the message to all pupils about what they should do if they have any worries about issues such as bullying or harassment. This helps to make sure that any incidents such as homophobic behaviour are 'called out' and dealt with. Discrimination is not tolerated. There is a warm atmosphere at the school. Corridors are calm places. The school council, 'CBSC Power', is an active group of pupils. The council was at the heart of a successful campaign to secure a pelican crossing outside the school. Leaders offer a range of GCSE and work-related courses at key stage 4 and in the sixth form that meet pupils' needs. These courses help pupils in planning for their future study when they leave school.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects and some 'bridging units' of work, particularly in Years 7, 8 and 9, the knowledge that leaders want pupils to know and remember is not clearly set out. Sometimes, the planned content is not as ambitious as it should be. This means that pupils do not learn the deep body of knowledge that they should. Leaders should review their curriculum thinking in these subjects and units.
- Some pupils do not take part in the school's offer of clubs and activities. This also applies to students in the sixth form. This means that some pupils lose out on opportunities for their broader development. Leaders should ensure they improve pupils' take-up of the school's offer.
