What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 March 2023

This is an inclusive school. Staff support pupils well so that they can succeed. Teachers have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. Pupils work well in class and are keen to learn. Pupils' wider development is an important part of school life. The 'character curriculum' helps pupils to reflect on the school 'virtues' such as moral and intellectual development. Pupils have a wide range of extra-curricular clubs to choose from. These include chess, the 'library lunch club' and various sports activities. Staff organise educational trips to enhance pupils' learning and broaden horizons. For example, pupils in the 'scholars programme' recently visited University of Oxford. Pupils are safe at school. While they behave well in lessons, pupils' behaviour around the school is sometimes poor. Some pupils, particularly older pupils, can be disrespectful towards others. Rough behaviour in the corridor and playground is not unusual. Staff are quick to deal with any incidents of poor behaviour and bullying. However, pupils are sometimes reluctant to report bullying and unkind behaviour. Leaders have successfully started to address these concerns.

What the school should improve

  • While there are high standards of behaviour in lessons, leaders have not ensured that there are consistently high standards of pupil behaviour around the school and towards each other. At times, pupils do not conduct themselves appropriately in corridors and in the playground. Some pupils, particularly older pupils, use derogatory language and bullying behaviour towards other pupils. Pupils do not always feel comfortable in reporting these behaviours. Leaders should ensure that there are high standards of behaviour at all times. They should ensure that pupils feel reassured and confident to report any disrespectful or inappropriate behaviour.
  • At times, teachers do not check pupils' understanding of their learning carefully. As a result, some pupils have misconceptions which are not corrected. Leaders should ensure that staff identify and address any misconceptions in a timely way.
