What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 December 2025
This is a school where all pupils are welcome. The school lives out its CARE values of courtesy, achievement, respect and excellence. Pupils understand these values and can explain what they mean. Pupils are welcoming to visitors and take pride in their school. They treat each other with kindness and consideration. Typically, they listen respectfully in lessons, try their best and behave thoughtfully during social times. If unkind behaviour occurs, pupils know that staff act promptly and decisively. Pupils enjoy school and attend well. Pupils learn to thrive, both in school and in the community. The school teaches them how to be safe in person and online, and how to live happy, healthy lives. Pupils appreciate the opportunities the school provides, such as trips, extra activities and the popular breakfast club. They also know they can turn to trusted adults if something worries them. Pupils understand that the school is aspirational for them. They typically work hard to achieve well and enjoy learning in lessons. They speak proudly about the work they complete, for example in art and design. Year 11 pupils readily take advantage of the school's additional support with revision. They know staff help them to do their best across all their learning. Some pupils need more precise support to enable them to achieve even better. This tends to be some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities. The school has taken steps to ensure more consistent support for these pupils.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should work to apply a consistent approach to support vulnerable pupils, especially those with special educational needs and/or disabilities.
- Leaders should work with teaching staff to strengthen how they adapt their teaching based on how secure pupils are in their learning.
- Leaders should refine how leaders at all levels evaluate their areas of responsibility so that their work has a clearer impact on pupils' achievement.
