What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils are rightfully proud to be part of this unique school. They are welcoming to all, confident and articulate about their learning. Older pupils reflect how much their experience has improved. There is a strong collective identity built around the 'Turves Values'. Pupils understand these very well and demonstrate them throughout the school day. Pupils show great pride in their work. They display a positive and resilient approach to all their learning. For example, in mathematics and English, their work is laid out with great care and attention. Pupils conduct themselves exceptionally well around school. Routines are firmly understood by all. Staff and pupils share very strong relationships, built through the value of being 'respectful to all'. Pupils know leaders at all levels want the very best for them. They know that any adult in the school will be able to help them if needed. Pupils feel safe. They are supported in numerous ways to attend well and make the most of their time in school. The school has worked effectively in order to improve the quality of the curriculum and its impact on pupils' learning. They have also increased the range of opportunities for pupils to grow beyond the academic. Pupils make active contributions to the life of the school. They can participate in numerous activities either side of the school day. These range from supporting the LGBTQ+ community through the allies club and regular performing arts opportunities.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum is yet to have a consistent impact for all groups of pupils. Therefore, some pupils are not achieving as well as they could. The school needs to continue to embed and develop the curriculum in all subjects so that all pupils achieve well.
- Some pupils do not benefit from a coherent enough approach to parts of the PSHE curriculum. As a result, those pupils do not revisit some of the important knowledge. The school should ensure that all pupils have a consistent experience of the PSHE curriculum over time.
