What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 November 2023
Finham Park 2 (FP2) leaders and pupils share the same high aspirations and this helps pupils to achieve well. Pupils understand and follow the values of pride, respect and responsibility. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and respectful. Typical parent comments are that 'the school nurtures all pupils with exceptionally supportive staff'. There is a purposeful atmosphere around the school. Pupils say they can focus on their learning well. Most pupils work hard and want to do well. On the rare occasions when there is low-level disruption, teachers act quickly and efficiently to address it. During social times, pupils walk and mix in a calm and orderly manner. This is evident in how the pupils behave, the smartness of their uniforms, and how they speak to visitors and staff. Pupils feel safe. They say they know who to talk to about any concerns they have. The school prioritises pupils' personal development well. Pupils, staff and parents speak positively about the 'FP2 family' as one community. The extra-curricular programme is rich and diverse. Pupils take part in a range of clubs such as debating and robotics. Students in the sixth form also support many areas of school life. This includes as 'paired reading' mentors to younger pupils.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils miss too much school, including pupils with SEND and those who are disadvantaged. This holds back their progress and achievement. The school should work closely with parents and external agencies to communicate effectively and secure more regular attendance for all pupils.
- Leaders have not fully developed their strategy to effectively support pupils who are weaker readers. Also, some pupils do not read widely and regularly in school and at home. This means that some pupils do not make sufficient progress in developing their reading and lack an understanding of what they are reading. The school should develop and embed its reading strategy to carefully monitor and support pupils and parents in engaging with regular and wide reading.
