What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 26 November 2024

Pupils flourish and feel safe in this warm, welcoming school. Staff strive and succeed in putting pupils back on the path to engaging with education. Pupils' additional needs, including special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are identified and assessed well. For example, some pupils receive highly bespoke support to prepare them for learning in the classroom. Pupils go on to positive next steps in their education or training. The school has very high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils rise to meet these. They actively contribute to the open and respectful culture that exists throughout. This is despite the past disruption that almost all pupils have experienced in their education. Pupils establish and enjoy a strong rapport with staff. They display positive attitudes to their learning in all aspects of the curriculum. Pupils benefit from a range of opportunities, which broaden their horizons and encourage them to think about what they could do in the future. For example, pupils are helped to consider a wide range of careers, including apprenticeships. Pupils' talents and interests are nurtured well. The school acts to address barriers that may prevent pupils from participating. For example, pupils receive support to continue engaging with particular sports outside of school.

What the school should improve

• In some subjects, the curriculum is not sufficiently well adapted to allow all pupils to succeed. This means some pupils do not make as much progress as they could through the planned curriculum. The school should ensure that staff expertise is developed so pupils deepen their knowledge and understanding over time.
