What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Pupils are proud to attend this school. They try their best each day to follow the school's values such as faith, truth and fairness. Pupils enjoy chatting and playing together at breaktimes. They get on well with staff and with each other. New pupils receive a warm welcome and settle in quickly to school life. The school is a happy place for pupils to learn and play. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. In their lessons, pupils concentrate well and stay focused on the tasks set. They know that they can ask for help if there is anything that they do not understand. Pupils typically achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils receive clear and consistent guidance about how to behave in school. They take pride in their own conduct and show highly respectful attitudes to staff and to visitors. Pupils enjoy striving for the enticing rewards for behaviour that the school provides, such as a trip to their favourite restaurant. Both in lessons and around school, pupils' behaviour is exemplary. There is a suitably wide range of activities to promote pupils' development beyond the academic curriculum. Pupils learn about diversity and difference within their local community. They enjoy visits to museums and even trips abroad. Pupils receive appropriate independent advice and guidance in relation to careers.
What the school should improve
- On a small number of occasions, in some subjects, the school does not identify clearly enough the barriers to learning that some pupils experience. This prevents staff from making effective adaptations to help these pupils to learn the curriculum as well as they should. The school should ensure that all staff receive training to help them identify pupils' needs accurately so that they can make the most appropriate adaptations to help pupils to learn well.
- In a small number of subjects, the school's understanding of the impact of the curriculum is at an early stage of development. This limits leaders' ability to make sure that the curriculum is helping pupils to know more and remember more over time. The school should ensure that in all subjects, there is a clear overview of the impact of the curriculum for pupils from Year 7 to Year 11.
