What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2023
This school has great ambition for all pupils. Pupils study a well-designed curriculum, which is designed to give them the best possible life chances in the future. Most pupils make good progress and achieve well. The school is using various strategies to improve consistency of progress for all pupils. Most pupils feel happy and safe at this school. Pupils behave well in lessons and as they walk around the school. A small minority of pupils sometimes use inappropriate or derogatory language, but this is not common. Bullying can be reported easily and is dealt with quickly if it occurs. Staff care about pupils at this school and have good relationships with them. Most pupils attend regularly, but some do not. This limits the progress that these pupils make. Pupils enjoy a huge range of clubs and activities at the school. They can take part in over 70 additional activities, such as knitting, table tennis, board games and fitness. Pupils play an active part in the leadership of the school and have led campaigns, such as 'Challenge it' that educates young people about harassment. Pupils are educated about local risks and are taught to keep themselves safe.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, questioning does not address misconceptions effectively or probe pupils' understanding in sufficient depth. As a result, some pupils become passive in lessons and do not make the progress that might be expected of them. The school should support teachers to use questioning to develop pupils' understanding and address misconceptions effectively.
- The school's recent work to create a culture of respect and tolerance is not fully embedded. Some pupils do not self-regulate their behaviour, and derogatory language is used by a minority of pupils. The school should ensure that pupils develop their character in such a way as to establish a strong culture of respect at the school.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This means that they do not make enough progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that all pupils, particularly those who are disadvantaged, attend school regularly.
