What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 17 December 2024

Pupils at this school are happy. They thrive in a school that fosters a strong sense of pride in their individual successes. Pupils particularly value the 'Time to Shine' celebrations of their talents and achievements. Pupils make great strides in their development as confident, young citizens during their time at the school. They speak proudly about taking part in musical events, such as concerts and an eagerly anticipated carol service. By taking on responsible roles, such as being members of the growth and respect councils, pupils learn how to play an active role in improving their school and community. Pupils know that the school expects them to behave well. They are polite and compassionate towards each other. Pupils are proud to be recognised on the prestigious 'recognition boards.' They live out the school's golden rules. Pupils are determined to rise to the challenges that the school provides. Pupils are aspirational for their futures. This ambition is matched by the school's high expectations of pupils' academic achievement. Pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Effective support is provided for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) to achieve alongside their peers. Pupils are well prepared for the next stage in their education.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, the checks that the school makes on pupils' understanding are not clearly focused on the key knowledge that pupils need to know to support their future learning. This leads to gaps in some pupils' understanding and prevents them from building their knowledge securely over time. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' understanding in these subjects are focused on the most important information that they will need to secure future learning.
