What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2023
Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy coming to this school. They benefit from the positive relationships that they enjoy with each other and with staff. Pupils said that they trust that staff will listen to their concerns and worries. This helps them to feel happy and safe at school. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Many pupils embody the school value of 'commitment' in their approach to learning. They work hard and achieve well during their time at the school. Leaders and staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils, parents and carers told inspectors that behaviour in lessons has improved considerably since leaders revised the behaviour policy. Many pupils try to treat others in the same way that they would like to be treated themselves. If bullying does occur, leaders deal with it quickly. Pupils learn the importance of teamwork and responsibility through being members of different groups, such as the school council. Pupils actively contribute to the wider community. They participate in local litter picking events and raise money for regional charities. Such experiences develop pupils' understanding of the positive contribution that they can make to society.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. These pupils struggle to make sense of new learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers identify and address gaps in pupils' learning before teaching new concepts.
