What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 October 2023

Pupils bask in the warmth, care and support that they receive from the adults in this friendly school. This helps pupils to feel safe, happy and secure. Pupils know that they will be listened to if ever they have any worries. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are enthusiastic about their education. They place a high value on their studies. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Many pupils are reaching those expectations and learning well across the curriculum. The school instils in pupils an aspiration for the future. For example, it supports a range of pupils in attending specialist classes at the local university each weekend. Pupils' behaviour is calm and orderly. They know how to move around the school considerately, showing respect for those pupils who may be in lessons. Pupils speak kindly to one another. They enjoy learning about each other's different cultures and faiths, celebrated through special days in school and visits to different places of worship. Pupils regularly visit their local area and beyond. The school ensures that pupils experience a range of opportunities to develop their talents and interests, such as playing in the steel pan band, taking part in national chess competitions and performing plays by Shakespeare. This prepares them well for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • At times, and in a small number of subjects, learning is not delivered as effectively as it could be. This means that, on occasion, some pupils do not gain the knowledge that is identified within the curriculum. The school should ensure that the curriculum is delivered consistently well so that pupils learn all that they should.
  • In a small number of subjects, the school does not use assessment information about pupils' knowledge and understanding as well as it could. As a result, a small number of pupils carry misunderstandings or gaps in their learning. The school should make sure that it uses the information gathered from the checks on pupils' learning to help pupils build a secure body of knowledge.
