What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 July 2023
Pupils benefit from the high expectations that leaders and staff have of them, both academically and socially. Pupils meet these and are positive in their attitudes towards their learning. They strive to succeed and recognise that everyone should receive the support they need to do so. School leaders have raised their expectation in recent years of how pupils should behave. Pupils understand this, so disruption to learning is rare. Relationships among pupils and with staff are positive and respectful. Pupils say that bullying is uncommon and that, if it occurs, adults deal with it quickly and effectively. Pupils know that they can report any worries to a trusted adult who will act. Pupils understand that difference should be celebrated, and they show respect and care towards others. For example, they read carefully chosen books which reflect the diversity that exists within society. Pupils have a strong sense of belonging to both the school and their local community. As part of the curriculum, they visit places in the local area to find out about its history and geography. Pupils attend scientific and cultural events and learn from experts who visit the school. They take part in a range of extra-curricular clubs and activities.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the important knowledge that pupils need to learn has not been broken down into small enough steps. Therefore, pupils do not always have secure prior knowledge before they move on to new concepts and ideas. Leaders need to ensure that teaching supports pupils to build securely on what they already know so that they are well prepared for what comes next.
- In some subjects, subject leadership is underdeveloped. Where this is the case, leaders do not have sufficient oversight of the impact of the curriculum on the development of pupils' learning. Senior leaders should ensure that all curriculum leaders develop the expertise they need to drive improvement in their areas of responsibility.
