What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 October 2022

Leaders and staff are ambitious for their pupils. Leaders have prioritised the creation of positive relationships between pupils and staff in order to help pupils succeed in all aspects of school life. Pupils feel safe at school. They can report any concerns they might have directly to staff or online. Bullying is rare. When it does takes place, leaders are quick to act. In most lessons pupils behave well. For example in a Year 7 lesson, they listened with respect when pupils talked about discrimination. Occasionally, however, there is low-level disruption which is not challenged. The pupil-led 'Junior Leadership Team' advises school leaders. Recently, the members of the team helped to improve personal, social, health and economic (PSHE) education. They also raise money for charity. Pupils can take part in a wide range of after-school clubs. These include the arts, sports and the annual school production. Leaders have prioritised the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme and ensure it is available to all pupils. In the sixth form, students study online courses as part of the 'super curriculum'. Students are enthusiastic about these, particularly courses on programming, digital marketing and working with children with autism spectrum disorder.

What the school should improve

  • Teaching does not consistently take into account any gaps in learning that pupils might have. As a result, sometimes pupils are not able to grasp new concepts. Leaders should ensure that teachers routinely check on previous learning and close any gaps before they introduce new material.
  • Leaders have not taken effective steps to ensure high standards of behaviour at all times. As a result, low-level disruption can occasionally prevent learning. Leaders need to ensure that all staff follow the school behaviour policy, and they should support them in doing so.
  • Governors and trust members have not acted with the required degree of urgency. This means that the school has not improved as rapidly as it could. Governors and trust members should ensure that they receive the information they need from school leaders in order to make more timely decisions.
