What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2023
Pupils' behaviour and conduct are exemplary. Pupils are exceptionally well mannered, courteous, hardworking and constantly eager to do well. The school's values are deeply embedded. Pupils know that these values help them to learn and make a positive contribution to their school and the wider community. Pupils thrive on the values postcards that are sent home. They are proud of the values stickers that they earn and build over time. Leaders make sure that all pupils live up to the school's high expectations. No one is allowed to slip through the net. Older pupils' communication skills are impressive. Pupils encourage each other to share their views and express opinions. They talk about and consider different views in a mature manner. They know that it is fine to have differing opinions if they are expressed in the right way. Pupils recognise and celebrate diversity. Pupils benefit from an extensive and wide-ranging programme of activities within and beyond the curriculum. Leaders ensure that all pupils are able to access these. Over time, these experiences ensure that pupils are prepared well for life in modern Britain. Pupils, staff and the vast majority of parents are passionately proud of their school.
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum is well planned and sequenced. It is taught well. However, in a small number of foundation subjects, pupils do not consistently recall what they have learned. Leaders should ensure that pupils consistently remember what they have learned across all subjects.
- The trust has defined the role and responsibilities of the local governing body. However, in a small number of cases, there is confusion about where responsibility lies for some aspects of governance. This means that some responsibilities are not met. Those responsible for governance should ensure that roles and responsibilities are fully understood and applied.
