What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
This is a school that cares about its pupils. The school is described by many here as being like a 'family'. The school has high expectations of pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/ or disabilities (SEND). This is particularly the case for pupils in the school's resource provision. Leaders work hard to address any barriers faced by any pupils who are vulnerable or disadvantaged in any way. Staff want the best for pupils. Working relationships between pupils and adults are positive. Pupils behave well in class and around the school. Pupils know they can talk to an adult in school if they are worried about anything. Pupils are happy and safe here. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. Pupils can work towards the school 'Personal Development Award'. They can attend many clubs such as gardening and debating. Pupils contribute to the student newspaper and enjoy taking part in the annual school musical production. Every year, older pupils undertake a charity project, participate in a public speaking competition and visit a local university as part of their careers education. All pupils can take part in one of the school's student leadership groups, for example on equality and diversity.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the school does not provide pupils with opportunities to embed and extend their learning during lessons. This limits pupils' development of their subject-specific knowledge and skills. The school should ensure that all teachers have the skills and knowledge to consistently check and embed pupils' deeper understanding.
- The school's work to improve pupils' attendance is not fully embedded and has not led to increased attendance. As a result, too many pupils are missing out on their education. The school must continue to embed its attendance strategy fully and thereby ensure that pupils attend more regularly. In particular, those pupils with the highest rates of absence must be supported to attend school more regularly.
