What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
This school has high ambitions for pupils' academic achievement and their personal development. A significant proportion of pupils join the school at non-standard points in the school year. The school gets to know pupils as soon as they join the school. They are supported well to achieve their best. The school's established routines and well-structured curriculum enable pupils to settle quickly. Pupils who have been at the school the longest, and who attend regularly, achieve well. Pupils become 'crew' as soon as they join the school. They value participating in daily crew sessions. These help them to reflect on their feelings and how they can support others. The school provides frequent and purposeful opportunities for pupils to engage in activities within the community. Through this, pupils learn how to become responsible citizens. Habits of work and learning (HOWLS) form the basis of the school's expectations. Pupils know the importance of, and demonstrate, the school's values in their conduct. They recognise how HOWLS help them to achieve success in their studies and become responsible individuals. Pupils' behaviour in class and around school is calm and orderly. Pupils enjoy playing games and using the equipment on the playground responsibly. Pupils benefit from what the school offers.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly. They miss out on important learning opportunities and do not achieve as well as their peers. The school should continue to work with families to improve rates of attendance for pupils.
- The school does not make effective use of the information it has available about attendance, suspensions and the achievement of pupils. Opportunities are missed to critically analyse the impact of the school's actions to further improve the school. The school, and those with responsibility for governance, should make the best use of the information it has available to strategically inform its next stages of development.
