What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils are very proud of their school. They recognise and value the way that their education is personalised to them, and the comprehensive support which is available. The atmosphere is calm with strong, positive relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils behave well. They have consistently positive attitudes to their learning. The few pupils who find this more difficult are supported well by the consistent high expectations and help they receive from staff. Pupils are diligent and want to do well in their lessons. Pupils are highly respectful of each other. They feel safe and are happy at school. Pupils who join the school mid-year feel warmly welcomed and integrate quickly into school life. Pupils understand the well developed pastoral systems. They know who to talk to if they have concerns and are sure they will receive any help that they need. Pupils' contribution to the wider life of the school is strong. 'Student Leaders' are active and feel that their voice is heard. Pupils develop their skills and contribute to their community through events such as the weekly lunch for elderly local residents.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the implementation of the curriculum. This means staff do not always make the most of the range of structures which are in place to support aspects of pupils' education. The school should continue to refine how it checks the implementation and impact of the curriculum to ensure this in line with expectations.
