What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 November 2022
Pupils at this school are nurtured. Their individual needs and talents are recognised and developed. Leaders have put in place a broad curriculum and all pupils are supported to build up their knowledge and skills over time. This means that they are ready for their further studies in the future. Pupils are safe and happy at school. They value the education they receive and are kind to one another. Little learning time is lost to poor behaviour. Pupils are taught to be tolerant, and are well prepared for life in modern Britain. They also relish the chances that they have to take on leadership roles. Staff support pupils' development as confident and articulate people. Bullying is rare, but is dealt with effectively when it does occur. The school is a harmonious community. Leaders and teachers are ambitious for all their pupils. They want them to be the best they can be, and look beyond the school in search of additional opportunities to enrich pupils' experience of education. They also consider how to ensure that learning is engaging for all, and how the curriculum can reflect the diverse character of the school. Almost all pupils stay at the school for the sixth form. This reflects the confidence of pupils and their families in the quality of support and education they receive at this school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers do not check how well pupils have understood key subject content. This means that pupils do not remember some subject content securely over time. Leaders need to continue their work to embed consistency in this area across all subjects.
