What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
A 'jewel in the community' is how this school is known by many. A safe place for all. Relationships between parents and carers, staff and pupils are strong. As one parent, typical of many, commented: 'The amazing range of support, both academic and emotional, enables pupils to achieve their full potential.' Pupils thrive because expectations of what they can achieve are high. The school's core values are well understood by all pupils. They recognise that these help them to develop positive attitudes to enable them to learn. A few aspects of the school's curriculum are being refined so that all subjects are equally ambitious. Coming to school is a positive and happy experience for all pupils. They are proud of their school. They accept each other's differences, displaying kindness and tolerance towards their peers. Many relish opportunities to take on roles and responsibilities within school. Pupils are confident that rare instances of bullying will be swiftly resolved. Inclusion is at the heart of this school's ethos. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are proud of their achievements. They confidently talk about how their targets will help them overcome any barriers to learning they may have.
What the school should improve
- (Information the school and appropriate authority)
- In a few subjects, leaders' ambitions have not yet been realised because the refinements in the curriculum are not complete. In these subjects, pupils are not yet developing the knowledge of the curriculum securely. Leaders need to ensure that the work on the school's curriculum is implemented effectively in all subjects, so pupils can make meaningful links within and across subject areas.
