What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 December 2022
This is a school where staff care for pupils and are determined that they will succeed. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve highly. Pupils enjoy coming to this school. They feel at home in its respectful and kind culture. All pupils follow the same broad curriculum. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Leaders have thought carefully about how they can re-engage pupils with school after the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. They do not shy away from sharing important messages about how pupils can keep themselves safe in school and in the local area. Leaders promote pupils' wider personal development well. Pupils are proud of the school. They behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils say that bullying is rare, but when it occurs it is taken seriously and dealt with well. Pupils say that they feel safe in the school. Sixth-form students act as positive role models for younger pupils. Teachers make sure that lessons are well designed and follow the curriculum plan. They consistently use school-wide strategies, such as 'I do, we do, you do', so that pupils know what to expect in lessons. Pupils and students benefit from rich experiences beyond the curriculum. These include visits to universities and outdoor pursuits centres, and sports trips abroad. All pupils have access to a wide range of opportunities to develop their interest and talents.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes pupils do not know what they need to do to improve their work. This is because they do not understand how to act on the guidance that they receive. Leaders need to ensure that teachers are clear about what pupils need to do when acting on feedback. This will assist pupils with knowing what they need to do next.
- Some pupils with SEND do not get the precise support they need. This means they do not make as much progress through the curriculum as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff better understand the needs of pupils with SEND and how to support them.
