What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 16 November 2022

Pupils flourish into independent, confident young adults at this school. Parents and carers typically said that the school empowers pupils and stretches them academically. This is because leaders have created a culture of high expectations for pupils matched with high-quality care and support. Pupils are happy and safe. They behave extremely well. Teachers deal with any rare incidences of bullying quickly and efficiently. The school curriculum supports pupils to excel. It provides pupils with essential knowledge and skills while offering opportunities for them to immerse themselves in subjects that they enjoy. Pupils are calm in classes and around the school between classes. Pupils take part in a range of sports, dance and music clubs throughout their time at the school. The school fosters working relationships between pupils across year groups. For example, students in Year 12 support younger pupils with reading. Pupils have access to unbiased, well-planned careers advice which they value. As a result, students in the sixth form are typically ambitious for their futures and know what they want to do as a career after they have finished their studies.

What the school should improve

  • Provision for pupils with SEND is variable across subjects in key stages 3 and 4. A few pupils with SEND find work particularly challenging and are not supported effectively to keep up with their peers. The needs of pupils are not communicated to staff as clearly as they could be. Sometimes, teaching over-relies on pupils taking responsibility for meeting their own needs or on teaching assistants to provide support. When teaching assistants are then not present in class, pupils with SEND sometimes struggle to understand new learning. When this happens, pupils with SEND do not build cumulative curriculum knowledge as effectively as they could. Leaders should ensure pupils with SEND are supported effectively to learn and progress throughout key stages 3 and 4.
