What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 November 2024
This school ensures pupils are happy, well rounded and prepared for life ahead. Pupils are positive about the high-quality care they receive to develop their confidence and self- pride. Staff and pupils form positive relationships built on mutual respect. Pupils trust adults to help them if they need it and behave in a mature way, taking responsibility for their actions. A culture of kindness and respect ensures everyone feels part of one big community. As soon as children start in Reception, the school cultivates their thirst for learning. They quickly learn important skills and knowledge through exciting and interesting topics. As pupils move through the primary phase, lessons spark interest and pique curiosity. Continuing into the secondary phase, pupils learn a broad and diverse curriculum. Pupils, including students in the sixth form, achieve very well in vocational subjects. However, pupils' achievement in some subjects such as mathematics and the sciences is less developed. Leaders have recognised this and are taking swift action in response. Pupils behave very well because staff are clear and consistent with their high expectations. The school raises pupils' aspirations for the future. Classrooms are places where pupils pay attention and focus on learning. This is because the school is successful in motivating most pupils to try their best.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not routinely check that pupils understand concepts in sufficient detail. This can limit how well pupils can apply what they know to new learning. The school must ensure that all staff have the skills they need to help pupils know and remember more over time.
- Too few pupils achieve well enough in the full range of EBacc subjects at GCSE. Pupils do not learn at sufficient depth to prepare them well for examination success. The school must continue to evaluate and implement important changes to EBacc subjects to ensure pupils achieve well.
