Logic Studio School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 November 2024

The school provides a professional, calm and caring learning environment. Pupils in Years 10 and 11, and students in the sixth form, focus on their studies and develop positive and respectful relationships with each other and with staff. The school has high expectations that pupils develop the character, skills and knowledge to be successful in a range of academic and work environments. Pupils are very well prepared for their next steps in education and employment. Staff and pupils appreciate the small size of the school community in which everyone knows each other well and no one goes unnoticed. Staff are quick to spot if anyone is not quite themselves and promptly help to resolve any concerns. The school's coaching programme ensures that pupils have regular personalised support with all aspects of their school life, including their learning and their well-being. Pupils are safe in school. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities to broaden their outlook and gain insight into the world of work, including events with representatives from different occupations and professions, internships, educational excursions and residential trips. Through the school's employer engagement pathways, pupils see the relevance of their studies to a range of sectors. They gain industry-specific experiences and qualifications, including in cybersecurity and games design.

What the school should improve

• Levels of attendance of some pupils who join the school in Year 10 are considerably lower than those in Year 11. The school's work to improve attendance is not reducing rates of absence swiftly enough. Pupils in Year 10 who are persistently absent miss out on the good quality of education and the high-quality experiences the school provides. The school should implement the further strategies and support needed in its work with pupils and their families, and external agencies as needed, to ensure that the attendance of pupils in Year 10 improves.
• In a few subjects, pupils' written work does not reflect their knowledge and understanding accurately. This limits pupils' achievement in these subjects. The school should continue to consolidate its work to improve the quality of pupils' writing.
