What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 February 2025
This is a caring and welcoming community school where everyone is treated as an individual. Families say staff are friendly, supportive and go 'the extra mile'. Each morning, there is a warm greeting for pupils at the school gate. Pupils feel very safe here. They know there is always someone they can talk to if they have any worries or concerns. The school is highly ambitious for all pupils. It prepares them very well for the next stage of their education. Pupils love coming to school. They talk enthusiastically about their learning. Subjects are brought to life through the many fieldtrips and visits. For example, to London landmarks and a wide range of cultural events. There is a strong team spirit in the school. Pupils look forward to participating in tournaments and competitions. Through visits to different places of work, pupils find out how their learning in school prepares them for their future careers. Behaviour in lessons and around the school is excellent. Pupils take pride in being courteous and polite to each other and adults. Curiosity is encouraged. Pupils take every opportunity to ask questions and share their point of view. Conversations between pupils and their peers, as well as pupils and adults, are plentiful throughout the day.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum is less well-developed. The school is still in the process of refining the content of the curriculum and the knowledge pupils should learn. The school should continue this work to ensure that the clear curriculum thinking evident in some stronger subjects is replicated in the remaining subjects so that pupils achieve equally well across the curriculum.
- In some subjects, expectations for pupils' written work are not as high as they are in English. As a result, the quality of pupils' written work in these subjects, including handwriting and presentation, is variable. The school should ensure there are opportunities for pupils to practise what they have learned in English across the curriculum, so that they produce written work of a consistently high quality.
