What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Pupils have strong positive relationships with the staff at this school. Pupils know they can go and speak to staff at the key stage hubs if they have a worry or a concern. Many pupils enjoy attending the school. Pupils feel safe and happy. They are generally proud and hold positive views of the experience they receive. Staff know the pupils well. This helps them support pupils who have additional needs. The school is inclusive and celebrates diversity. Pupils proudly show off the badges they have received for contributing to the wider life of the school. The ethos of the school promotes that 'learning comes first' but there is also an acknowledgment that learning goes beyond lessons. The 'emerald way' is one strategy that encourages all pupils to partake in charity work and competition. It also enables pupils to show creativity and develop cultural understanding. This develops each pupil holistically. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers would recommend the school to others. One parent summed up the view of many when they said, 'My child is thriving at this school. The school treats each child as an individual and takes the time to understand their passions.'
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, particularly in key stage 3, teaching and assessment strategies are not used as effectively as in other subjects. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school must ensure that the teaching and assessment strategies are consistently and securely embedded across these subjects.
- There are a few aspects of the personal development provision in certain year groups that are not as consistently well planned or developed. On occasions, these aspects are not of the same high quality as other aspects of the personal development offer. When this is the case, some pupils miss out on valuable personal development opportunities. Leaders must ensure that all opportunities for personal development are of equally high quality and accessible to all pupils.
