What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

Pupils feel happy and safe and love being a part of this school. Staff have high aspirations for all pupils. They know them well and understand their needs. Staff support pupils to become increasingly confident and active members of the school community. As a result, the school is a calm and purposeful place to learn. Pupils know that staff will support them with any concerns that they may have. Pupils follow the school's well-established routines and behave extremely well. Around the school and in lessons, pupils learn to make positive choices about how to learn and behave. When needed, staff skilfully support pupils to regulate their own behaviour. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement across a range of subjects. Pupils respond well to these expectations. In many subjects, pupils achieve highly. The imaginative sixth-form curriculum is tailored to meet students' needs and as a result they flourish. The school plans carefully to provide opportunities to develop pupils' character. For example, pupils learn life skills, gain awards and complete work experience in the sixth form. This work contributes to developing pupils' confidence and communication skills.

What the school should improve

  • On occasions, the school's precision to develop and build on pupils' prior learning is not secure. This limits what pupils know and remember over time. The school should ensure that staff continue to develop their expertise so that they adapt and build on all pupils' knowledge and understanding deeply.
