What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 March 2025

The school has improved significantly since the previous inspection. Pupils are proud to be part of the school community. The view of one parent that the school 'is now an environment where my children feel they can thrive both inside and outside the classroom' is typical of many. The school has high expectations of pupils' conduct. They balance these expectations with warmth and mutual respect. The school is led with moral purpose and the aspiration that all pupils feel a sense of belonging, so they are able to achieve well. Increasing numbers of pupils make good academic progress through the curriculum. Pupils learn in a calm and purposeful environment. Some of the school's work to develop pupils' characters is exemplary. The school provides an extensive range of extra-curricular opportunities, including sports, music and drama. It fulfils its own commitment that all pupils in key stage 3 see a live performance and visit an art gallery, alongside a range of other trips. The school's long-established link with The Royal Shakespeare Company has inspired many pupils to take part in drama and increase their confidence. Many pupils take on positions of responsibility and support each other's well-being, for example as student leaders, or helping to run 'toast club'.

What the school should improve

• In a few areas, the implementation of the curriculum is less effective than in others. Staff do not consistently provide opportunities for pupils to deepen their knowledge and understanding of key concepts. This means that pupils do not remember the detail of what they have learned. The trust must ensure that their chosen pedagogical approaches are used consistently effectively, so that pupils retain the most important knowledge and deepen their understanding of these subjects over time.
