What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 February 2024

Students feel happy and safe here. The college is a small and close community. Students behave well. They are polite and respect others. Adults help them with any concerns they may have. Students thrive in the calm and caring environment of the college. They attend well and arrive on time, keen to learn. They form close working relationships with staff and each other. Leaders plan students' curriculum well and ensure that the experiences that they receive are well thought out. The college has high expectations of what students can achieve. This motivates students to achieve highly in courses including GCSE and A- levels. Students have a strong understanding of equality and cultural diversity. They are taught that discrimination of any kind is wrong. Staff deal with any concerns swiftly. Staff work with students calmly and with kindness. There is a positive ethos across the college. Students constantly want to give their best. They benefit from opportunities to enhance their wider personal development. Students collaborate in most areas of school life positively, for example during sporting activities, such as the popular table tennis tournaments, and cultural visits.

What the school should improve

  • In PSHE, the school has not securely detailed the specific knowledge and range of activities that it wants students to learn and experience. This limits students' deeper knowledge and understanding in these subjects. The school should ensure that the offer for PSHE is broadened and logically ordered, so that students have the widest possible range of curriculum and wider opportunities.
