What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
Pupils feel safe, happy, and valued. Staff deeply understand pupils' challenges and provide the help pupils need to succeed. This school fosters a caring, inclusive culture. When pupils make mistakes, teachers guide them to 'bounce back'. Over time, pupils become resilient. Pupils feel listened to and extremely well supported by staff that know them so well. The school has the highest expectations of each pupil. Pupils achieve well across the broad and ambitious curriculum. Pupils are reminded about what they could become and where they could go as they enter each classroom, named after higher education institutes. Pupils begin to develop their aspirations. They start to believe in their limitless potential. Pupils are proud to earn 'GRAD' points. They get these for showing the characteristics which the school promotes, such as grit, relationships, academic excellence and discipline. Pupils develop a sense of accountability. The sixth form provides a transformative environment. This enables students who might not thrive elsewhere to achieve remarkable outcomes. Students have tailored pathways, expert teaching, and the support they need to excel academically. The school's ethos is rooted in the mantra, 'everybody graduates'. The focus is always on ensuring that each pupil, regardless of background or ability, has the chance to reach their full potential.
What the school should improve
- In key stages 3 and 4, occasionally there is too much lesson content and new knowledge for pupils to understand. When this happens, some pupils find it difficult to maintain their focus. The school needs to take action to address this.
- In key stages 3 and 4, teaching does not consistently check that pupils have remembered essential knowledge. As a result, some pupils do not have the pre- requisite knowledge they need for future learning. The school needs to refine its assessment practice. It needs to ensure that teaching routinely checks that pupils have secured the knowledge they need for later learning.
