What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 October 2024

The school is determined to widen pupils' horizons. Pupils are empowered to 'dream big and aim high'. This is a highly inclusive school. Pupils and their families benefit from the positive professional relationships that they form with staff. This helps pupils to thrive socially and emotionally. Pupils, including those who are disadvantaged, have positive, resilient attitudes towards their learning. As a result, they learn and achieve well. Pupils who are new to the school, including those who speak English as an additional language, settle in quickly. Staff support them well to help them to focus on their learning. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) have their needs accurately and promptly identified. Staff adapt learning activities so that pupils with SEND experience the same curriculum as their peers. Pupils leave the school well prepared for the next stage in their education. The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour and ensures that those who meet them are rewarded for their efforts. Consequently, pupils behave well in lessons. Pupils' conduct embodies the school's important value of respect. They take turns and share well.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school has not ensured that the curriculum has been designed to build on prior learning. In these subjects, teachers are hindered in designing learning that supports pupils to build logically on what they already know. The school should ensure that teachers are clear about the essential knowledge that pupils should learn at each stage of the curriculum.
  • Sometimes, the school's assessment strategies do not enable teachers to check how well pupils are learning the curriculum. Consequently, teachers do not identify or address the gaps in pupils' knowledge or understanding as well as they could. The school should refine its approach to assessment so that teachers understand fully where pupils need to develop their learning further.
