What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2023
Pupils are happy at school. Many pupils enjoy the activities that leaders organise, such as 'lioness days' for girls to take part in football and basketball games. Pupils like taking on responsibilities in the school, including as school counsellors and mental health ambassadors. They behave well. This is a very inclusive school. Leaders and teachers teach pupils about equality and the importance of respecting other people's differences. This is because they want pupils to respect people from all backgrounds. Pupils are taught about different types of bullying and why it is wrong. This includes racist and homophobic bullying. If any bullying occurs, leaders deal with it appropriately. Leaders have nurturing professional relationships with pupils. Pupils trust that adults will ensure they are kept safe. Many pupils comment that they feel confident to speak to an adult in school if they are worried about anything. Pupils are safe. Leaders have high ambition for all pupils. Leaders have thought very carefully about the curriculum and how pupils learn different subjects. Typically, all pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In some areas, the curriculum is not consistently implemented. As a result, sometimes, pupils' knowledge is not as secure as it could be. Leaders must ensure that the planned curriculum is delivered consistently well in all areas.
