What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 April 2024
Pupils are happy and proud to attend this diverse school. They said that everybody is welcome here. Pupils know that staff care for them and are there to help, should they have any worries. The school has a culture of high aspirations for pupils' achievement. It wants to inspire pupils to be exceptional in all that they do. Pupils typically rise to these expectations. They were excited to share their learning with the inspector and with their parents and carers during an assembly. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who speak English as an additional language, achieve well. Pupils behave well during lessons and around school. They confidently explained the school's values of 'respect, reflection, innovation, collaboration and aspiration'. Pupils are committed to following these values and they relish earning recognition for doing so. They know the importance of respecting the differences between themselves and others. Pupils benefit from many rich extra-curricular activities. For example, they enjoy attending art and yoga clubs, as well as martial arts and other sports activities. Pupils have experiences further afield, such as singing in concerts and competing in sports tournaments. They talked excitedly with the inspector about their upcoming school trips.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school is still refining the essential knowledge that pupils should learn and when this should happen. This hinders some pupils in deepening their understanding over time. The school should determine the precise knowledge that pupils should learn in these subjects and the order that this should happen.
- Occasionally, staff do not identify and address pupils' errors and misunderstandings quickly enough. As a result, some pupils make mistakes that go unchecked. The school should ensure that staff identify and address these inaccuracies and misconceptions quickly, to help pupils to learn as well as they should.
