What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 October 2024
This school fosters an environment where all staff are dedicated to achieving the very best for their pupils. School leaders have clearly communicated the school's core values, aiming for all pupils to feel empowered, respected and cared for. Pupils study a wide range of subjects. The school has high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Bullying is not tolerated. Most pupils say that when it happens, staff take it seriously and act quickly to resolve any issues. All pupils are taught how to stay safe within and beyond school. Many pupils feel confident they have a 'trusted adult' they can go to. As a result, pupils feel safe. Pupils behave and get on well. In lessons, the atmosphere is purposeful with pupils respecting each other and their teachers. Pupils take part in lessons well. They are engaged in their learning. Many pupils demonstrate the school's values, including the importance of respect. However, outside the classroom, not all pupils demonstrate mutual respect and, as a result, some pupils feel they are treated differently by their peers. Pupils feel valued and cared for at the school. The extra-curricular activities are enjoyed by pupils. Many parents believe that the school has high aspirations for their children.
What the school should improve
- The attendance of vulnerable pupils remains lower compared to their peers. Missing out on important learning means that these pupils do not achieve as well as they might. The school must address the specific barriers that vulnerable pupils face so that they attend highly and achieve well.
- Most pupils have inclusive attitudes regarding the differences between people. However, a small minority of pupils are not respectful of the female gender. This means that some girls do not feel as valued as boys. The school should ensure that there is a culture of mutual respect, ensuring that all pupils are viewed and treated equally.
