What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 February 2026
Warm relationships between staff and pupils mean that pupils feel safe in school. They are clear where to go if they need additional support. In lessons, pupils behave well. They listen to their teachers, and any low-level disruption is dealt with effectively. Pupils know that attendance is important. However, the school is not yet secure in ensuring that pupils, including the most disadvantaged, attend the school on a regular enough basis. When bullying does happen, it is reported and dealt with effectively by staff. Pupils enjoy their learning. However, they have a mixed experience of the curriculum across the school. Consequently, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders are ambitious for this to improve and have put improvement plans in place. Leaders promptly identify pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. Leaders also remove barriers to learning and put effective strategies in place for these pupils. Teachers support disadvantaged pupils effectively and provide them with a wide range of opportunities. However, disadvantaged pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Pupils benefit from a range of opportunities beyond the curriculum. They are taught what it means to be a positive member of society. Pupils understand fundamental British values and appreciate the uniqueness of different cultures. There are a range of trips and visits, which enhance their experiences in school. The 'RAK days', which immerse pupils in activities such as culture experiences, are valued by both pupils and staff alike.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should ensure that their strategic approach to attendance results in declining absence rates for all pupils. • Leaders should ensure that they rigorously monitor the impact of their improvement strategies so that they secure the improvements needed. • Leaders should ensure that teachers' approaches, particularly checking for misconceptions and questioning, become more effective so that pupils secure foundational knowledge and achieve well across subjects.
