What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 May 2025
This school has undergone rapid improvement in recent months. Pupils enjoy warm, positive relationships with the adults they work with. The environment is caring, friendly and calm. Pupils feel safe. They are taught how to communicate respectfully with each other and with their teachers. Teachers uphold high standards which pupils are motivated to meet through a well-planned rewards programme. Where behaviour falls below expectations, teachers intervene consistently to remind pupils of the school's standards. Morning routines in tutor time, for example, ensure that the start of each day is purposeful. Tutor time quizzes and reading expose pupils to varied cultures and ways of life. The special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) of pupils are well understood through the provision of clear information to teachers. This information is used diligently by class teachers. Lesson resources and activities are precisely created so that each pupil can engage in the work before them. The 'breaking barriers' curriculum ensures that pupils develop skills of leadership, organisation and resilience as they prepare for life when they leave Invested Education. The qualifications that pupils take to enable positive next steps are based on a firm understanding of pupils' interests, knowledge and plans that leaders identify when pupils are admitted to the school.
What the school should improve
- The ambitiously developed plans for the core curriculum do not extend to all subjects that the school currently delivers. Pupils could achieve more than the curriculum enables them to. The school should ensure that the ambition in the most well-developed subjects extends to all curriculum areas so pupils achieve as well as they can in all subjects.
