What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 November 2023
The school is a community where everyone is treated fairly and equally, and where pupils feel valued. Staff know the pupils very well. They build positive working relationships. This ensures pupils are safe in school. Pupils behave well during lessons and around the school's site. Clear systems are in place to support staff on the rare occasion that any low-level disruption takes place. Pupils are polite and enjoy being in school. They feel well supported by staff. Pupils study a broad curriculum. In some subjects, pupils develop an in-depth understanding of what they have learned. In other subjects, pupils' knowledge is more variable. This is because delivery of the intended curriculum is uneven in these areas. Pupils have access to a range of wider opportunities. This includes a variety of sports teams, drama, gaming and art clubs. Pupils in Years 7 and 8 all complete a series of assignments based on real-world scenarios as part of the school's 'applied transdisciplinary curriculum'. Students in the sixth form all take part in enrichment activities. All these opportunities help students to develop a range of skills and prepare them for their future.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that pupils' understanding is routinely checked and any misconceptions identified. This means that pupils, in some subjects, have gaps in their knowledge and are not fully ready to learn new content. The school should ensure that all teachers check pupils' learning and understanding, and identify and address any gaps in pupils' understanding.
- Sometimes, activities in lessons are not well selected to help pupils to practise and master subject-specific knowledge and skills. This means that some gaps occur in pupils' learning, and pupils do not build up and retain new knowledge. The school should ensure that activities are well selected to deepen and strengthen all pupils' understanding.
