What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 November 2025
Pupils benefit from, and contribute to, a highly positive culture in this new school. They know and understand the school's values. They readily explain how they try to live these values, for example by showing each other compassion. Pupils develop their social skills and the confidence to strike up conversations with adults, showing respectful interest and great pride in their school. Many nationalities are represented, and languages spoken, across the school. These are celebrated and reflected in the design of the school and its curriculum. This is helping to build feelings of belonging among pupils and to promote mutual respect. Occasional examples of prejudiced behaviour are addressed swiftly by leaders. Pupils know that staff want the best for them. Rules and routines are happily followed by most pupils, leading to a purposeful atmosphere in lessons and around the school. Pupils benefit from a rich secondary education that is often taught in exciting ways. This includes carefully chosen trips and many clubs. These opportunities are built into the school day so that everyone can develop their interests and try new things. Relationships between pupils and staff are very positive. Pupils readily share any worries. Support is often adapted to meet the needs of individuals, for example some pupils receive pastoral support while participating in activities they enjoy, such as exercise or gardening. Where pupils need help to close academic gaps, such as in reading or mathematics, they get teaching and support that help them to catch up. However, for some pupils, there is not enough support to help them improve their achievement in writing.
What the school should improve
- Leaders should develop their strategies to address weaknesses in some pupils' writing skills so that these pupils can communicate their ideas and knowledge more effectively to support their future achievements.
- Leaders should continue their work to improve pupils' attendance and reduce persistent absence.
