What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 April 2022
Leaders are determined to provide an ambitious education and broad opportunity for all pupils. Pupils are encouraged to have high aspirations and to aim for excellence. Lessons are calm as pupils engage constructively with their learning. There are strong professional relationships and a bond of trust between teachers and pupils. The school community is truly inclusive. Leaders consider how to enable all pupils to succeed. Pupils learn to value and respect one another, regardless of difference. As a result, the school community is increasingly harmonious. Pupils report that they feel safe. Within this purposeful environment, leaders and staff work together and ensure that high expectations are realised, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They offer a broad and challenging curriculum for all. Leaders have focused on rewarding positive behaviour and setting clear boundaries. On the rare occasions that bullying takes place, it is dealt with effectively. Pupils are very clear that they trust staff to help them. Leaders and governors are ambitious for the school. They reflect regularly on how to improve it further so that they can serve their local community and the pupils in their care.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not routinely use assessment strategies to ensure that pupils remember knowledge in depth and in the long term. This means that some pupils do not build up detailed knowledge over time across all their subjects. Leaders need to ensure that clear strategies for checking what pupils know and remember are fully embedded throughout the school.
- Leaders have not ensured that pupils, particularly in Years 10 and 11, take full advantage of opportunities to enrich their experiences through wider involvement in school activities. Leaders should provide further guidance and opportunity which aim to support pupils develop their character and self-confidence.
