What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 January 2023
Pupils at this caring and friendly school are happy and feel safe. As one pupil commented, 'We make everyone feel welcome here because they are our family as well.' This ethos has been deliberately created by leaders. Pupils are taught how to behave in ways that match the school's values of honesty, trust, kindness and respect. These values can be seen in the way pupils behave towards each other. Bullying very rarely happens. If pupils are unkind to each other, it is dealt with quickly by staff. Leaders have high expectations and pupils achieve well. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Teachers make sure that all pupils work towards the same ambitious goals. The expectations that staff have for pupils goes beyond the academic. Many pupils take advantage of the wide range of clubs that are on offer and staff try to ensure that there is something that will benefit everyone. Pupils support the local community through visiting the elderly and raising money for charities. They also have positions of responsibility in the school and feel like they are listened to, respected and can make a real difference.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not thought carefully enough about what it is they want pupils to learn, so there is not a consistently logical sequence for the curriculum. As a result, many pupils remember only disconnected facts in a few subjects, and they do not learn what leaders intend. Leaders need to consider their ambition for the end points of these subjects and identify what it is that pupils will need to learn so that these end points can be reached.
- Teachers have not always fully understood the purpose of learning activities in the way that leaders intend. This means that some activities are not being used as effectively as they could be. Leaders need to direct teachers back to the purpose of these strategies and put in place support to ensure that everyone understands why they are being used.
