What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to this school. The vision and values of 'inspired and empowered' run through much of what happens at the school. Pupils and staff take personal responsibility for their actions and do their best. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive appropriate support to ensure that they can fully engage with the learning. Pupils achieve well in external assessments. Behaviour inside of lessons supports pupils' learning well. Pupils are kind to each other and provide support and encouragement so that they can all achieve. Pupils, parents and carers and teachers work together as a team to help pupils to be successful. Leaders understand the importance of pupils attending school each day and they make sure that support is put in place to enable this to happen. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe at the school. The school has identified what pupils need to support them to grow in their personal development. Staff make sure that there are a wide range of clubs available that enrich pupils' wider experiences. The school has also developed a number of different therapeutical projects designed to support pupils' well-being and mental health.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the delivery of the curriculum is not supporting pupils to build upon and apply their prior knowledge and engage successfully with new learning. This means that pupils find it difficult to recall securely their previous learning. The school should ensure that, in all curriculum areas, pupils are supported successfully to know and remember more of the subjects that they are studying
