The pupils that the inspector spoke with told him that they feel safe and that staff care for them well. They said that behaviour is mostly good. Pupils and parents have confidence that leaders and staff will take them seriously if they report bullying. Leaders deal effectively with any incidents that occur. Pupils told the inspector that the best things about the school are their teachers, their friends and the wide range of different subjects that they study. Pupils are polite and show respect for others. This contributes to their positive relationships with staff and the calm environment throughout the school.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, sometimes teachers do not deepen pupils' knowledge or help pupils to remember what they have learned. Some pupils do not achieve as well in these subjects as they could. Leaders should ensure that teachers enable pupils to deepen their knowledge by building on previous work, so that they know and remember more over time.
