What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 May 2023
Leaders have created a culture in which the school's values of kindness, decency and a strong work ethic are lived out by pupils and staff. Pupils behave extremely well. Relationships between pupils and adults are warm and respectful. Bullying occurs very rarely. On these occasions, adults act to resolve it effectively. The majority of pupils, and their parents and carers, have confidence in staff to resolve issues successfully. Pupils have access to a wide range of enrichment activities. Leaders, since the pandemic restrictions were eased, have prioritised enrichment activities as part of their wider well- being strategy. They recognise the importance of helping pupils to socialise more widely and to develop their talents. Many pupils have attended an educational visit, such as to the National Space Centre or to the theatre. These opportunities enhance pupils' understanding of the curriculum, as well as developing their cultural awareness. Some pupils take up leadership roles in the student parliament. Others have supported local primary schools as part of their sports leadership role. The school, through its house system, engages pupils in charitable fundraising activities. Pupils in Year 7 participate in the annual summer residential camp. Residential visits such as this provide pupils with opportunities to develop their independence and wider skills, such as teamwork. Pupils receive a high-quality education that prepares them well for their next steps in education, employment or training. Pupils make use of independent careers advice and guidance. A minority do not access this advice before they make decisions about their future.
What the school should improve
- There is no system in place to check what pupils know and remember from the school's PSHE curriculum. Leaders are not able to assure themselves that pupils have learned the intended knowledge from the PSHE curriculum. Leaders should establish a system that enables them to evaluate the effectiveness of the PSHE curriculum.
