What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
Pupils love coming to school and enjoy the wide range of subjects they can study. They appreciate the lunchtime sporting equipment and activities on offer and clubs, such as 'sporty stars' where they can play dodgeball and football. Leaders are ambitious for pupils to do well. They are rightly proud of the school's inclusive nature. The school's resource base for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) known as the 'rainbow room' is an example of this. Pupils are fully integrated into lessons and the life of the school, wherever possible. Pupils achieve well from their different starting points. Pupils behave well. The school's nurturing ethos, where pupils can dream and plan for their future, is in line with the trust's values of 'being, belonging, becoming'. Pupils can also write their dreams and worries on their 'three houses' as another way to alert staff of any worries or concerns they have. When there are any issues, pupils are confident that an adult always deals with them well. They feel safe in school and know how to keep themselves safe, for example, online. The school makes sure pupils know who their trusted adults are and who they can talk to.
What the school should improve
- There is inconsistency in the school's approach to checking pupils' learning in the wider curriculum subjects. As a result, some gaps in knowledge and misconceptions are not always addressed. The school should ensure that systems for checking pupils' learning are consistent across each subject.
- Some older pupils have a limited understanding of British values. As result, they cannot articulate what concepts such as democracy and tolerance mean and how they can demonstrate them. The school should ensure that pupils have a secure understanding of the themes that encompass British values.
