What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
Pupils are proud to attend St Alban's. They are happy to come to school and enjoy their lessons. Relationships between pupils and staff are positive. Pupils know their teachers care for them. This means that pupils have a strong sense of belonging to this welcoming school. The expectations for pupils at this school are high. The school is ambitious about what pupils will achieve. There are many strategies to support pupils to reach these high expectations. Where these strategies are having an impact, pupils achieve well. The school's high expectations for pupils go beyond classroom activities. Pupils also value the opportunities available to them to widen their experience. A range of pupil leadership roles and activities to improve the local area help to prepare pupils well for life in modern Britain. Behaviour around school and in lessons is generally calm. There are few instances of low- level disruption. Many pupils engage well in lessons. A small number of pupils need extra support to manage their behaviour. Staff take sensitive and effective action to support these pupils.
What the school should improve
- There are inconsistencies in how well staff implement the new teaching strategies that the school has introduced. This means that pupils' understanding is not secure and they sometimes do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff fully understand how to use new teaching strategies effectively, so that pupils achieve well.
- In some lessons, pupils with SEND do not receive the precise support that they need to access learning. This means that, sometimes, staff's approaches are generic and pupils with SEND do not learn as well as they could. The school should refine the information that staff receive about pupils with SEND to ensure that curriculum adaptations are effective for this group of pupils.
