What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 February 2025
This school sits at the heart of its diverse community. Staff warmly welcome pupils and their families at the school gate each morning and help families with any issues they have. This helps pupils to be ready to learn. A significant number of pupils arrive from other countries. Many speak English as an additional language. The school's nurturing and caring ethos helps them to settle quickly. The school is fiercely ambitious for its pupils. Staff do not make excuses for pupils' starting points or their backgrounds. They expect pupils to work hard. Pupils rise to this and achieve well. They enjoy school and rightly see it as a safe, happy place. Pupils' conduct in lessons and around the school is of a very high standard. Lessons have a calm and purposeful feel. Pupils are polite and courteous towards each other and visitors. Low level disruption is rare. The school's personal development programme is a strength of the school. It provides pupils with a strong sense of life beyond their locality. Through the 'Jewell Promise', pupils experience a wide range of activities they may not otherwise do. The school's 'careers days' promotes an aspirational culture for its pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment information well enough to provide pupils with work that considers what they can already do. As a result, some pupils undertake tasks that are too easy or too difficult, and this limits what they learn. The school should ensure that teachers provide pupils with work which enables them to consolidate their learning, so that they deepen their knowledge securely.
- A small number of pupils who have fallen behind in their reading, do not read books closely matched to the sounds they know. This means that they struggle to read new and unfamiliar words independently. The school should ensure that pupils who have fallen behind, read books that match the sounds they know in order to become fluent, confident readers.
