What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2022
Pupils are proud of their school. They confidently explain how their school values encourage them to make the right choices. Pupils enjoy their lessons. Teachers make learning fun and help pupils improve their learning. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff and pupils interact positively with each other. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons, around the school and at playtimes. Bullying is rare. When it happens, staff respond to it seriously and it is not repeated. Pupils are kept safe at all times. Pupils have many opportunities to take on responsibilities such as being house captain or members of the school council. They can represent the school in physical education (PE) as part of the 'PE Squad'. Pupils develop their confidence as they take part in annual performances to parents and carers. Staff run themed weeks to enrich pupils' learning, raise awareness, and help promote positive relationships and respect. Pupils take part in musical events with pupils from other schools. They participate in a great variety of clubs including bookworms, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, coding, street dance and golf.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders' assessment systems are not embedded. In those subjects, pupils do not remember important key knowledge as well as they should. Leaders should make sure that their intended assessment strategies are used effectively by teachers so that gaps in pupils' learning are identified swiftly.
- In some subjects, middle leaders are in early stages of development and receiving support from senior leaders. This means that some aspects of the teaching of their subjects are not as well established as others. Middle leaders' development should continue so that they are increasingly able to take strategic and independent leadership of their curriculum areas.
