What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 January 2023

Pupils are proud members of the school community. They appreciate their similarities and celebrate their differences. They are proud of their achievements and aspirational for their future. All members of the school community behave in a way that upholds the values and ethos of the Rosebery Way. Pupils are happy and safe. Pupils' conduct in classrooms and around the school is calm and orderly. Low-level disruption is not tolerated, so learning is not disrupted. Incidents of bullying and or discriminatory behaviour are extremely rare. When they do occur, they are dealt with quickly and appropriately. Pupils are polite and respectful. They are kind and considerate. Pupils welcome the opportunities offered to broaden their outlook through trips, visits, theatre and residentials as well as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award. Extra-curricular activities include sport, music and drama as well as a medical society, creative writing, a coding club and the extremely popular cheerleading activities. Aspirations are ambitious and supported by a strong careers programme, including visiting speakers, work experience and employer engagement. Careers support in the sixth form is strong and all students have access to appropriate careers advice. Students are very well supported in their university applications.
