What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 June 2023

Pupils and their parents and carers are proud to be part of this very inclusive school. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Pupils trust staff to listen and to try to help with any problems they may face. Pupils are happy and feel safe at school. They feel that is easy to make new friends and say that their teachers always encourage them to try something new. If bullying should happen, leaders resolve it quickly. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well. They are polite to adults and to each other. In lessons, pupils are keen to learn and most settle down to tasks quickly. Leaders aim to give all their pupils the best start in life, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged. Staff expect them to work hard and achieve well and they rise to these expectations. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils appreciate the great breadth of opportunities they have to enrich their learning through extra-curricular activities. Older pupils help lead some of the activities alongside staff. Leaders go to great lengths to ensure that all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, experience a rich diet of cultural visits and sports competitions. A highlight for older pupils is the school residential in north Wales.

What the school should improve

  • In a few subjects, there is variation in the rigour in which the curriculum is implemented by teachers. As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not learn some of the key knowledge, concepts and skills in the depth required for the next stage of their education. Leaders should ensure that there is greater consistency in the delivery of these subjects by teachers so that pupils develop their knowledge, understanding of concepts and skills at the appropriate level of rigour and depth in all subjects.
