What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils are kept safe at school. They appreciate the close working relationships that they build with staff through belonging to one of the 'four small schools'. Pupils know and value that staff listen to any concerns. Leaders have high expectations of behaviour. Pupils appreciate leaders' approach to creating a calm and orderly environment. Bullying incidents are rare and resolved swiftly. Pupils are taught to respect others and value diversity. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are fully included in the life of the school. Pupils follow an ambitious curriculum that is designed to help them to learn and remember more. Students in the sixth form access a broad range of courses. Teachers have high expectations of pupils. As a result, pupils achieve well. This is clear in the work that they produce. A rich range of visits and activities are made available to pupils. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' involvement in these. For example, several pupils take part in the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme. Pupils can take on a leadership position in the school. For example, sixth-form students are trained to help younger pupils with their reading. Pupils appreciate the strong careers provision. This gives them information that allows them to make informed choices about their next steps.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, support for pupils with SEND is not tailored precisely to their needs. As a result, some pupils do not consistently receive the high-quality support that they need to learn the intended curriculum. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the necessary expertise to ensure that pupils with SEND are supported consistently well to build their knowledge and understanding sequentially.
- A small minority of parents have mixed views about the school. Leaders are aware of this and are taking steps to communicate their work with parents. Leaders need to embed these new systems and continue to build on what is working well.
