What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
This is a welcoming and inclusive school. The school's values of 'respect, curiosity, resilience, friendship and kindness' are being realised. Staff want the best for pupils. They have very warm relationships with pupils and know them well. Pupils enjoy coming to school and they are very proud of it. They get on very well with each other and with staff. Leaders prioritise ensuring that Year 7 pupils settle in quickly when they join the school. Pupils' conduct is excellent in lessons and around the school. Pupils are very clear about the school's expectations for behaviour. They settle to their work quickly and are eager to learn. Parents and carers and pupils praise the school's very high quality of pastoral care. Pupils are well cared for. There is always somebody in the school they can talk to if they have a problem. Many pupils take advantage of the extensive range of clubs and activities provided outside their regular lessons. These cater for a wide range of pupils' talents and interests, including sports and the arts. The house system provides numerous opportunities to develop leadership. For example, many pupils are sports leaders and well-being ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- Lessons are not always adapted successfully to meet the needs of all pupils. This means that not all pupils achieve highly, particularly the most disadvantaged. The school should ensure that it keeps careful oversight of how well the curriculum is being implemented and provides support so that it is of a consistently high standard in all subjects.
- Plans to improve reading across the whole school have only recently been put in place. As a result, many pupils who read below the expected level for their chronological reading age are not able to read well enough to access the full curriculum. The school needs to ensure that the new approaches to reading are securely and consistently embedded and have the planned impact.
