What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
This is a friendly and extremely inclusive school. Pupils are nurtured and well cared for. Staff know the pupils well. They understand the various barriers and challenges that pupils face when they are learning. This leads to an environment where pupils feel safe. Most pupils behave well. However, misbehaviour sometimes disrupts lessons. The school's motto 'Let your light shine' permeates throughout the school's work and the many positive changes that have been made. This includes a complete overhaul of the school's curriculum. There is strong ambition for all pupils to achieve the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. However, in some subjects, pupils' achievement does not match the school's intentions. As a result, some pupils do not have the depth of knowledge that they need to be ready for the next stage of their education. The school provides a wealth of trips, visitors and extra-curricular clubs. These give pupils the opportunity to develop their talents and interests and to understand the world around them. Pupils take pride in their responsibilities, including as school councillors, who help to lead the school's community and charity work.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers lack the expertise to plan activities that meet the ambitious aims of the curriculum. Learning activities do not always build on prior learning or support pupils to remember their learning over time. This means that some pupils do not have a firm enough understanding of important concepts and subject-specific vocabulary. The school should develop staff's subject and pedagogical knowledge so that they support pupils to achieve well across the curriculum.
- There are some incidents of low-level disruptive behaviour in lessons that are not consistently picked up by adults. This leads to some pupils remaining off task and not completing their work. The school should ensure that all adults have consistently high expectations for behaviour and conduct and apply the school's behaviour policy consistently to help pupils maintain attention on their learning.
