What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Pupils are at the heart of this caring school. Relationships are respectful and positive. Pupils hold staff in high regard. They say teachers are kind and help them to learn new things. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well, and many pupils rise to the adults' high expectations. There are also high expectations of behaviour, to which pupils respond well. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. On occasion, when pupils struggle to meet the school's expectations of behaviour, they are well supported. Pupils say that they feel safe at school. They are confident to tell an adult if they have a problem, and they trust that they will be listened to and supported. Pupils have opportunities to lead. They take these roles seriously and are extremely proud of them. For example, some take on the role of staff in the school's 'parliament bank', shop and café where pupils can spend their well-earned 'kirts' on various items. A wide range of experiences are available for pupils to enjoy. Pupils participate in many sporting competitions, and the school is proud to be the girls' kwik cricket champions for three years running.
What the school should improve
- The knowledge that pupils should learn in a few foundation subjects is not yet fully identified or sequenced across the curriculum. Staff are not always clear about exactly what pupils need to learn and when. Pupils cannot always connect new learning to previous learning. The school should identify the most important content that it wants pupils to learn and when in all subjects.
