What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
Pupils are proud to attend Gumley House. It is a welcoming and nurturing school where the ethos of 'live that you may have life' is celebrated by all. Pupils are happy and well cared for. They learn about how to stay safe online and in the wider world. Pupils build very respectful working relationships with each other and with staff. Leaders have created a culture of high expectations. They are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils achieve well, including in public examinations. Students in the sixth form also achieve well and receive effective guidance for life after school. Pupils behave exceptionally well in class and around the school. Should bullying occur, it is taken seriously and dealt with quickly. The school prioritises pupils' personal development. Pupils take part in an extensive range of extra-curricular activities and visits. They play an active role in the life of the school, for example by taking on leadership responsibilities. These include being on the student leadership team, supporting younger pupils with reading and working to raise money for charities and the local community.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum is not as ambitious and developed as it is in others. The essential subject knowledge that pupils need to know and remember is sometimes not clearly identified. Sometimes, this key content is not sufficiently well sequenced. This means that there are instances when pupils do not understand what they are learning in depth. The school needs to ensure that in all subjects, staff have the curriculum thinking, training and support that they need to deliver an ambitious curriculum consistently.
