What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 June 2024
The school has changed for the better since the previous inspection. There has been significant cultural change. Teachers' expectations of pupils are high. Pupils' behaviour is good. Lessons are calm and purposeful. Routines are well-understood. Pupils show pride in their work and in their school. They value their teachers. One pupil spoke for many when they said, 'This school has really improved, it's a great community in which to learn and feel safe.' Pupils believe that bullying is rare. There are many staff that they will turn to if they have concerns or worries. Student support is strong. The pupil anti-bullying ambassadors are keen to share their experience and help others. They are rightly proud of this role. They are a real credit to the school. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities they receive outside of the normal school day. The breakfast club provides an excellent chance for all pupils to have a healthy start to the day. Numerous clubs, trips and activities also run daily. Pupils are enthusiastic about the difference these opportunities make to them. They said that the different experiences 'test you and make you realise just how far you can go'.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders are new to the school. They have not had sufficient time to be effective in the role. They have not fully benefitted from the high-quality support available from the trust. This means that aspects of the curriculum are not as meticulously planned as needed. Pupils do not learn as they could. The school must ensure that subject leaders receive the guidance and support needed to become highly effective. They must make sure that the quality of curriculum planning, and implementation, is consistently strong across all subjects and that pupils' outcomes improve.
- There are inconsistencies in the implementation of the 'teaching fundamentals'. In some lessons, this can mean that pupils' learning gaps are not addressed. It sometimes leads to pupils developing misconceptions or becoming a little confused. The school must ensure that the implementation of the curriculum is consistently strong across all subjects and that pupils achieve as they should.
