What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2023
Pupils' behaviour in class is impressive. Lessons are rarely, if ever, disturbed by pupils talking out of turn or chattering. Pupils get stuck into their work quickly and stay focused throughout the lesson. This is because leaders and staff create an environment that is supportive, caring and focused on learning. They expect pupils to behave well and always to do their best, both academically and personally. Pupils do well in the subjects that they study, particularly in mathematics. They also have lots of opportunities to develop their personal interests and skills. There are 23 after- school clubs, for example, and pupils visit places of interest as well as mosques and churches. Many pupils get involved in helping around the school, taking responsibility for leading on things like the environment or as house captains. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), and those who speak English as an additional language, are supported effectively. As a result, their experience of school is positive. Parents and carers agreed that the school takes great care of their children and keeps them safe. Pupils, too, were adamant that they felt safe. Bullying is 'rare' they said and, if it does happen, it is dealt with effectively.
What the school should improve
- There are a few areas where the quality of education could be improved. In some of the foundation subjects, the implementation of the well-designed curriculum is not securely embedded in practice. In some subjects, teachers lack the specific knowledge they need to ensure that misconceptions and gaps in learning are quickly addressed. In other cases, teachers have the subject knowledge but their pedagogical understanding of how to deliver these subjects is not yet fully secure. Leaders and teachers have already identified these factors and staff training is filling the gaps effectively. Leaders need to ensure that staff training strengthens teachers' knowledge of the foundation subjects and of the approaches to teaching these effectively.
