What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 May 2024
The school has high expectations for what pupils should achieve. Pupils work hard in lessons and are engaged in their learning. They are happy and excited to come to school. Pupils achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils benefit from an atmosphere where everyone is valued and nurtured. Pupils are polite and respectful. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and caring. Pupils behave well and live up to the school's high expectations for their behaviour. The school's consistent routines, coupled with supportive relationships, result in calm and orderly classrooms. Many pupils attend the extensive range of extra-curricular activities that the school offers. For example, they enjoy musical theatre, beach running and quidditch clubs. Pupils enjoy many opportunities to develop their leadership skills. These include roles as school councillors, reading ambassadors and prefects. Pupils are proud of the responsibilities that they hold and the difference that they make to other pupils. Pupils show an awareness of world affairs and express mature perspectives on a range of issues. As they move through the school, they develop into confident and thoughtful citizens.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the curriculum does not show the knowledge that pupils are expected to learn in sufficient detail. This sometimes makes it difficult for pupils to learn the curriculum as well as they should. The school should ensure that the curriculum outlines the knowledge that pupils are expected to learn clearly.
- In some subjects, assessment strategies do not enable teachers to check pupils' learning sufficiently well. This prevents some pupils from deepening their knowledge. The school should improve its assessment systems so that teachers are equipped to identify whether pupils have embedded their knowledge securely.
