What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 30 January 2024

Pupils are proud of their school. It is a happy place where all are included. Pupils do their best to live up to the high expectations placed on them. All pupils are mindful of the school's 'agreed right choices'. These include being 'kind and respectful' and to 'listen and care for everyone'. Pupils feel safe. They benefit from having strong relationships with the staff. The school is determined that, through its Catholic values and ethos, pupils can become the best versions of themselves. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in most subjects. All pupils are well supported in class. They are keen to share what they know and what they can do. They are open and honest with each other, with staff and with visitors to the school. Pupils enjoy the range of extra-curricular and leadership opportunities on offer. They also go on many educational visits, including to castles, botanical gardens and museums. Parents and carers value the school and praise the staff and school leaders. Pupils respect one another and develop confidence and resilience. Well-established routines ensure that learning is maximised and pupils are safe in all areas of the school.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, learning is not sequenced as well as it could be, which leads to pupils not always understanding key concepts. The school should continue to develop the curriculum so that pupils get the chance to improve their understanding. The school should make sure that there are processes in place for pupils to recall and use prior learning as they move forward with their studies.
