What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Staff at this school are passionate and highly dedicated. Parents and carers describe the school as a caring community and value the quality of communication they get from staff. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic success. The quality of education has improved, and this is reflected in strong academic outcomes. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), make very good progress as they move up the school. Pupils are clear about the expectations for behaviour. The high standards are evident in pupils' conduct in lessons and around the school. Where pupils struggle with their behaviour, staff help them to get back on track. Support for pupils' mental health and well-being is very strong. This helps pupils make positive choices about their behaviour and learning. Lunchtime and after-school clubs meet a wide range of interests. These include music, photography, basketball, debating and cooking club. Some pupils have leadership responsibilities, for example, as student ambassadors and class representatives. The school provides a wide range of opportunities for pupils to develop their confidence, including the Duke of Edinburgh's Award and university visits. These opportunities prepare pupils well for the next stage in their education.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not feel as invested in their school as their peers. As a result, they do not make use of the many opportunities available to them to make a positive contribution to the life of the school. The school should make sure pupils are clear about how they can contribute and encourage them to do so, so they develop the positive character traits needed for them to thrive.
