What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 January 2023
Pupils in this school are kind and considerate. They are kept safe because teachers always help and support them. Pupils know that if they have any worries staff will listen to them. Pupils behave well in lessons and when moving around the school. This is because leaders have high expectations of them. Lessons are not disrupted by poor behaviour. Incidents of bullying are rare. If bullying does occur, it is dealt with quickly. Leaders and teachers encourage pupils to do their best. Pupils focus well in lessons and are enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils are given positions of responsibility and enjoy carrying out their roles. For example, pupils are voted for by their peers to be faith leaders and members of the school council. Pupils understand that these are examples of democracy and that voting means that everyone has a voice in decision-making. Pupils speak with enthusiasm about the range of after-school clubs they attend, from basketball and coding to drama. These are well attended. Pupils develop an understanding of how they can support global issues. For example, they take pride in speaking about raising money to purchase solar panels for a school in Uganda.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the expectation of what pupils will learn is not precisely or clearly set out. As a result, pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects. Leaders need to ensure that they have identified exactly which key bits of knowledge pupils will learn in each unit of work so that pupils achieve well in all subjects.
