What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 May 2025
Pupils take great pride in embodying the school's vision 'inspire, nurture, challenge'. They speak confidently about stepping beyond their comfort zone and being positive role models for their friends. They benefit greatly from the range of residential trips on offer. These provide valuable opportunities to experience new activities such as raft building, while working in a team. Regular forest visits support pupils to learn about habitats and develop practical skills like foraging. The school has high expectations for pupils, both academically and in terms of behaviour. Pupils learn well and make positive behaviour choices. They are highly motivated to have their name added to the 'golden thread of choice' and to earn 'cherries' for demonstrating the school's values in action. The school is a safe space for pupils, where they feel happy and valued. Staff care deeply about pupils. Pupils flourish. They are confident to tell an adult if they have a problem. They know that staff listen carefully to both sides of the story when resolving any friendship fallouts. As a result, pupils appreciate the fairness of staff. Strong and trusting relationships prevail.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the school has not identified the most important knowledge that pupils need to remember over time. This means that pupils do not recall the most important content as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure that teachers know the learning that it wants pupils to remember so that pupils remember more of the key knowledge over time.
- Where new curriculums have been introduced, the school does not adapt learning for pupils with SEND well enough. As a result, pupils with SEND do not learn as successfully as they could. The school should ensure that they support teachers to know how to adapt learning appropriately and consistently for pupils with SEND.
