What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils attending this school are prepared exceptionally well for their future careers and lives. They are excited about the opportunities provided that will help them to pursue careers in digital media, technology and creative industries. Pupils told inspectors that they are encouraged to be independent and that they have the freedom to be themselves. Pupils are happy at school. The school has high expectations of pupils' learning. Pupils value the professional and productive atmosphere. They strive to live up to the school's motto that 'every day is an interview'. Pupils benefit from a curriculum that is enriched with opportunities to engage with employers and with higher education settings. Detailed learning across subjects is linked. This helps pupils to develop different skills in readiness for their future careers. Consequently, they move on to strong destinations. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with each other and with their teachers. They behave well. Pupils are attentive during lessons and they want to succeed. Pupils benefit from a range of employer-led projects. These support and enhance pupils' professional experiences and learning. For example, following the recent study of knife crime, sixth-form students have designed and led a project to install trauma kits in knife crime hotspots across the city.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not use assessment methods well enough to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge. This hinders how well pupils make sense of new learning. The school should ensure that assessment strategies give teachers enough information about what pupils need to revisit and practise before moving on.
- Some pupils do not attend school often enough. This hinders their progress through the curriculum. The school should ensure that that these pupils attend school regularly, and on time, so that they can fully benefit from all that the school has to offer.
