What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 April 2024
This is a highly inclusive school where everyone is valued. Pupils and staff embody the school's values of 'believe, inspire and achieve'. They are proud of their school and the improvements that have been made over recent years. In class, pupils are focused on learning. They progress well across the curriculum. Staff encourage pupils to treat others with respect, to build their resilience and to look after their physical and mental health. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and conduct. More recently, pupils' behaviour has improved, including for the growing number of pupils with complex needs. Bullying is not a concern for pupils. Staff swiftly sort out any issues so that pupils feel safe and cared for. Pupils relish the opportunities that are on offer, including the trips and residential experiences in which they can take part. Pupils benefit from a wide range of lunchtime and after-school activities, such as choir, reading club and a range of sports. This helps them to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of classes, where staffing has been unstable, the behaviour and attitudes of some pupils are not always positive. As a result, sometimes, learning is disrupted, and incidents of poor behaviour are not always dealt with effectively. The school should ensure that the school's behaviour policy is consistently applied so that the behaviour of all pupils lives up to the high expectations of the school.
- The way the school uses assessment in some curriculum areas is not as effective as it could be in enabling staff to identify, with sufficient precision, gaps in pupils' understanding and address their misconceptions. As a result, pupils do not revisit key areas of learning that they may not have fully grasped. The school needs to ensure that all subjects include timely assessment opportunities that allow teachers to adjust teaching and ensure that pupils' progress is as strong as it can be across the curriculum.
