What Ofsted said

Pupils know that all staff expect them to work hard and challenge themselves. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Behaviour is exemplary. Pupils work hard and show high levels of self- control. Leaders provide pupils with a wide range of opportunities to develop their personal and social skills. Pupils enjoy taking on positions of responsibility, including as sunshine representatives, celebration champions and music captains. Staff encourage pupils to share any ideas and initiatives, and support them in making positive choices and decisions. Pupils are proud to represent their school in various ways. This includes participating in community events and sporting tournaments. Teachers broaden pupils' experiences through a range of educational visits and themed days. These help to immerse pupils in purposeful and practical learning. Pupils enjoy the variety of clubs that develop their skills and interests. The views of parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive. They valued the strong links leaders establish with the community.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, where subject leaders are new to the role, oversight of the curriculum is not consistent. As a result, teaching does not implement leaders' curricular aims securely in these subjects. Leaders should continue to develop subject expertise and leadership to support teachers effectively in implementing the ambitions of the curriculum securely and consistently in all subjects.
