What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils thrive at this school. This is because staff have extremely detailed knowledge of each individual pupil and have developed strong, caring relationships with them. Pupils rise to the high aspirations that adults have for them. Pupils know that staff will quickly resolve any fallouts or incidents of bullying. Most pupils behave well throughout the school day. Pupils feel safe in school. While some pupils find managing their behaviour difficult, behaviour in lessons does not typically distract others from their learning. Any small outbursts are quickly dealt with. Pupils are prepared well for life after school. Older pupils benefit from valuable careers advice. This includes individual discussions about future career options, visits to careers fairs and opportunities to speak with colleges and businesses. Trips and activities are used well to interest pupils in their learning and to provide them with experiences beyond the classroom. Opportunities for pupils to discuss topical issues are regular features of the curriculum. For instance, pupils speak with maturity and eloquence about what it means to be British and to live in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- The reading curriculum has not been implemented fully enough to support the increasing number of pupils joining the school at an early stage of reading. As a result, these pupils do not make the progress in reading that they could. The school should ensure that a more consistent and robust framework for the teaching of reading is in place across the school.
- Some pupils do not attend school often enough. This means that they miss out on essential learning and vital school experiences. The school should ensure that their ongoing work leads to improvements in pupils' attendance.
