What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
The school's motto: 'Be yourself, be your best self' encourages pupils to persevere and be kind. Pupils like the certificates they receive for their efforts. This helps pupils develop positive attitudes to learning so that they achieve well. There are warm relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils are happy and safe. They know teachers listen to any worries or concerns they may have and deal with them quickly. Leadership roles develop pupils' sense of responsibility. Younger pupils aspire to be a member of the 'shed crew', to set up lunchtime activities and help in the dining hall. This makes lunchtime fun and sociable. Pupils are proud to contribute to the life of their school. Inter-school sports events develop pupils' resilience and stretch their talents. Pupils enjoy the daily run and morning movement sessions. They know these benefit their physical and mental health. Pupils experience well-planned activities such as kayaking, orienteering and rock climbing. These broaden their horizons and boost their confidence. Older pupils enthuse about their participation in the end of year play. They are proud of the courage they have to present to a large audience.
What the school should improve
- The school has not successfully communicated the approaches it has taken to keep the curriculum up to date and improve behaviour systems. This means some parents do not understand, and/or lack confidence in, how the school manages these. This makes it harder for those parents to positively engage with the school and their child's learning. The school needs to address the way it engages with the community to enable effective engagement with the school for the benefit of pupils.
- Teachers do not always make precise adaptations to teaching for some lower- attaining pupils and pupils with SEND. As a result, these pupils do not make the progress in their learning that they could. Leaders should ensure teachers make School 3 appropriate adaptations to lessons so that all pupils achieve the intended aims and ambitions of the curriculum.
