What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Pupils across the school are happy and feel safe. They have a clear understanding of the school's motto, 'all different, all equal and all flourishing', which is demonstrated in the way they behave towards each other and staff. Pupils are respectful towards each other and the school is highly inclusive. They are taught how to behave well. They know whom to talk to if they have any concerns and that it will be dealt with quickly. The majority of pupils attend school regularly and enjoy coming to school. The school is ambitious for what all pupils can achieve academically. Children in early years are especially well prepared for their next steps. Pupils are successful in reaching these ambitions because the school has considered the knowledge and skills pupils need to learn over time carefully. Students in the sixth form are provided with a wide range of courses and are well supported in realising their aspirations. There is a clear focus on pupils' development beyond the academic curriculum. There are many opportunities for pupils to participate in a variety of clubs, take on leadership roles and learn about the world of work.
What the school should improve
- Assessment does not always link closely to the curriculum. This means that staff are not able to use assessment fully effectively to identify and plan carefully for pupils' next steps. The school needs to ensure that assessment processes link to the curriculum and that the information arising is used to inform adaptions to subsequent teaching in order to meet pupils' needs highly effectively.
