What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

This is an inclusive school where leaders are ambitious for all pupils. The school has a clear vision for school improvement. This is having a positive impact on the school. Pupils feel safe. They know that they can talk to staff about any concerns they may have. Bullying is rare. Pupils are confident that when bullying does happen, staff will deal with it effectively. Behaviour around the school is mostly calm, and staff respond quickly to instances of poor behaviour. The school recognises that pupils did not achieve as well as they could in the 2023 national tests, and leaders have acted decisively to address these areas. This oversight has helped make positive changes to the curriculum. The school provides opportunities for pupils to develop their leadership skills. For example, pupils take on responsibilities in the student leadership team and as prefects. Pupils appreciate the wide range of trips available to them, including to Barcelona and Lille. Parents and carers are rightly positive about the changes that have been made at the school. One parent echoed the views of many by saying, 'The school has made excellent progress in the last 12 months.'

What the school should improve

  • Sometimes, in Years 8 and 9, the school's expectations of pupils' behaviour and attitudes to learning are not high. This means that some pupils' focus on learning and the quality of work produced are not consistently high. The school needs to ensure that all staff always have ambitious expectations of pupils, so pupils achieve well.
  • In some subjects, the school does not ensure that the work given to pupils matches the aims and ambitions of the subject content. This means that pupils do not deepen their knowledge and understanding in these subjects. The school should make sure that the work pupils receive is matched to the curriculum aims so pupils have regular opportunities to extend their subject-specific knowledge and skills.
