What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 May 2023

Leaders encourage pupils to do their best at this school. Leaders encourage pupils to adopt the school's values and contribute to the school community. These values include helping others, being respectful and valuing individual differences. Parents and carers said how much their children love to go to school. Pupils' behaviour in class and around the school is consistently excellent. Pupils are polite and personable. They are safe. They are highly attentive in class and determined to do their best. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils in the school, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school's curriculum reflects these high expectations. Leaders encourage pupils' talents and interests. They prioritise pupils' mental health. For example, each class in the primary phase has a well-being ambassador. Pupils in the secondary phase attend a range of clubs and activities, including football, chess and the activities linked to achieving the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Staff organised an overseas visit to Switzerland for students in the sixth form to teach them about particle physics. Pupils are taught the importance of charity. For example, the school recently donated almost 300 kilograms of food to the local food bank.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, teaching does not accurately reflect leaders' ambitious intentions. In these subjects, sometimes teaching does not consistently revisit prior learning. This means that sometimes pupils do not know and remember all that they should. In other cases, teaching does not consistently identify and address pupils' misconceptions. As a result, pupils do not understand some of what they have been taught and they cannot connect new learning to prior learning. Leaders should ensure that teaching systematically revisits prior learning and identifies and addresses pupils' misconceptions so that pupils know, remember and can do more across all subjects.
