What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 October 2024

The school aspires to offer a transformative experience for its pupils, and for many it achieves this goal. Pupils feel genuinely cared for in this friendly, inclusive school. They know that trusted adults keep them safe and will act swiftly to help them if they have any worries. Pupils are encouraged to take full advantage of the distinctive opportunities available to nurture their talents and expand their horizons. As one pupil explained, 'There is something for everyone here.' Staff know pupils well. This fosters a strong sense of belonging throughout the school. Pupils enjoy friendships with their peers. The corridors are often filled with cheerful conversations as pupils move calmly between lessons. In lessons, pupils engage attentively, eager to participate and keen to answer their teachers' questions. Although pupils' achievements are not fully reflected in the 2023 published outcomes, they are increasingly developing a strong, well-connected understanding of their subjects. This is because of ongoing improvements in the school's curriculum. Older pupils are excited about their next steps, knowing they have been well-prepared to move forward with confidence. Whether heading to sixth form, starting an apprenticeship, or pursuing university studies, they are ready to embrace their future. Many look forward to earning a spot on the alumni 'wall of fame', eager to celebrate their accomplishments and stay connected to the school community.

What the school should improve

• In some areas of the curriculum, teaching does not enable pupils to recall prior learning as well as they do in others. This contributes to gaps in knowledge for some pupils. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well across all subjects to help pupils to learn consistently well across all subjects.
