What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils respond to these expectations and achieve well. Leaders expect all pupils to behave well. They have established clear and consistent routines to manage pupils' conduct. Pupils are polite and respectful. In lessons, they are keen to do their best. During social times, pupils manage their behaviour well. This leads to a calm and purposeful environment where pupils are able to focus on their learning. There are strong, positive relationships between pupils and staff. Leaders and staff deal with any incidents of bullying and name-calling effectively. This helps pupils to feel safe and happy in school. Pupils can access a range of extra-curricular opportunities. They are keen to join the popular Cadet group and look forward to this group's annual summer camp. Pupils develop their talents and interests through the creative writing club, residential trips to Wales, skiing lessons and theatre visits. Year 10 pupils valued their visit to the Bank of New York.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not carry out effective and timely checks on pupils' learning that enable them to identify and address any gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding. This hinders some pupils' learning. Leaders should ensure that teachers use assessment strategies effectively to identify and address pupils' gaps and misconceptions.
- Some pupils do not attend school as frequently as they should. This means that these pupils miss out on important learning. Leaders should ensure that the attendance of these pupils improves.
- Leaders' work to promote pupils' personal development has gained less traction in key stage 4. This means that some older pupils do not learn all that they should to ensure that they are fully prepared for life in modern Britain. Leaders should finalise the content of this programme so that pupils develop all of the knowledge that they need as they move towards adulthood.
