What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Pupils are encouraged by staff to 'be the best that they can be' at this vibrant, inclusive school. One pupil summed this up, saying, 'The best thing about our school is that it is a community for everyone.' Pupils understand the school's 'CLIC' values of communication, learning, improving health and community. They value how these are celebrated through rewards, assemblies and school events. Pupils enjoy their lessons, and many take part in after-school clubs such as tennis, choir and gymnastics. Pupils develop confidence through opportunities to represent their school in events such as Quidditch and cross- country. One pupil was proud to share, 'From reading to Taekwondo, you can do everything here!' Pupils feel safe and know the school's behaviour systems well. Pupils understand some of the potential dangers of social media and the hazards linked to the time that they spend online. Bullying is not tolerated and any incidents are dealt with quickly. Pupils explain their 'Netley Learning Model' with confidence, describing how they are encouraged to think about people's differences so that they learn to respect each other. Pupils take proactive approaches to tackling issues such as racism and discrimination.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils are not achieving as well as they could across the curriculum. Where this is the case, recent changes to the curriculum have not had enough time to demonstrate a full impact on pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that every curriculum area equips pupils with the learning that helps them to achieve highly and that pupils' work consistently reflects the high standards that leaders expect.
- A small number of disadvantaged pupils have higher levels of absence than their peers. These pupils miss out on some aspects of school life and the full range of wider opportunities that are on offer. Leaders must continue to do all they can so that these pupils improve their attendance.
