What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
The school's vision of a 'safe, happy and learning community' is entirely realised. This is because the school is inclusive, placing pupils right at the heart of its work. The school strives for academic excellence alongside developing the whole individual. Pupils feel safe, and their attendance is high. They behave and cooperate well. They are eager to learn in lessons, contribute exceptionally well to the school and, as a result, achieve very strong outcomes. Pupils are highly equipped and ready for the next stage of their education and future. Students in the sixth form enjoy their experiences and achieve well. The personal development of pupils is exceptional. The pastoral care, guidance and support offered to pupils is very strong. Pupils take part in over 60 clubs and activities promoting a wide range of talents and interests. These include arts, crafts, history and music. Many pupils participate in the rehearsals for the current school production with enthusiasm and energy. The provision for sports is excellent. Pupils' participation in a high number of sporting events makes an effective contribution to their team and collaborative skills. Pupils appreciate the range of trips that enhance the curriculum. They take on leadership roles, including as subject ambassadors, and as tutor and sports captains.
What the school should improve
- A few staff do not make consistent use of the school's approaches in the sixth form. As a result, students do not achieve or develop as well as compared to the rest of the school. The school should ensure that staff consistently implement all strategies well so that the quality of students' experiences leads to stronger levels of achievement.
