What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Leaders and teachers are ambitious that all pupils access a rich set of experiences during their time at school. Staff successfully promote pupils' personal development. The school removes potential barriers to ensure that pupils participate in a wide range of activities, such as cooking, sport and music. Pupils speak passionately about being part of the performing arts showcase. Most pupils say that they feel safe in school and can talk to an adult about any worries. Many pupils say that bullying is rare and that it is dealt with well by staff if reported. Until recently, the curriculum has contributed weakly to pupils' progress. Pupils have not achieved well. The school has implemented plans to address this. As a result, pupils are starting to know and remember more of what they have been taught in some subjects. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) who receive personalised support and are taught well. The school has prioritised improving attendance and pupil behaviour. Leaders have recently made changes to the behaviour system, and staff and pupils speak highly of these changes. This has resulted in a calm and orderly environment in school. Pupils are starting to attend school more often and persistent absenteeism is reducing rapidly.
What the school should improve
- Until recently, the school has not successfully addressed the decline in pupil achievement since the previous inspection. This means that some of the action that the school has taken is new and its impact is not evident. The school's actions must continue to address the root cause of underperformance and ensure that school improvement plans address weaknesses in underperforming subjects.
- Over time, teaching of the curriculum has contributed weakly to the progress that pupils make. Teachers do not consistently choose the most appropriate activities to deliver the curriculum. The school needs to ensure that teachers are well supported to implement strategies that will help pupils to know and remember more of the curriculum.
