What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils enjoy their lessons and are happy. Pupils know they are well looked after by staff and feel safe. The school has lofty expectations for all pupils' achievement. Pupils know they must aim high. In lessons, pupils work hard and successfully reach the high expectations. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are polite and well mannered. Pupils have respect for each other and the adults in school. Pupils speak eloquently about knowing they can turn to a teacher if they need help or support. Bullying is rare. When it happens, the school acts diligently and resolves any issues quickly. Pupils enjoy the many extra activities provided. These include an annual skiing trip to Italy, visits to theatres in London and sleepovers in a local aquarium. The school works with several musical centres of excellence. Performers from the Welsh National Opera provide pupils with opportunities to learn from the best. Pupils play a wide range of musical instruments in school. There are plans for them to perform confidently at venues such as the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire and work with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra. These activities help build independence and life skills in pupils.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not consistently model subject-specific vocabulary with enough precision when explaining learning tasks to pupils. This means a few pupils cannot clearly understand what teachers expect of them. The school should ensure greater precision in the use of subject-specific vocabulary.
- Occasionally, teachers do not routinely assess what pupils know with enough accuracy. As a result, some pupils have too few opportunities to fully deepen their knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure ongoing checking is accurate so all pupils can deepen their knowledge and understanding.
