What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Pupils are happy and enthusiastic about their learning here. This is reflected in the school's values that guide pupils to be safe, caring and responsible. Pupils are proud of what they have learned and keen to do their best. The curriculum is equally ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils' behaviour in classes is calm and mature. They move around the school between classes sensibly and are taught to develop a clear understanding of right and wrong. Adults deal effectively with bullying, if it should happen. Pupils are safe in school. Teachers enhance pupils' learning through outings to museums and theatres. Pupils experience activities including BMX biking and sailing during their time at the school. Leaders also organise visits to the seaside for pupils and parents who wish to join the outing. Leaders also organise weekly art and physical education clubs for pupils.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, curriculum thinking is not as detailed as it is in other subjects. Where this is the case, curriculum delivery is not equally strong across all subjects. Leaders should further refine curriculum thinking in these subjects and ensure that all pupils, including pupils with SEND, achieve equally highly across all subjects.
