What This School Does Well

This school creates a welcoming, inclusive environment where pupils feel happy and safe. Teachers have high expectations and deliver good quality lessons that help pupils achieve well. The school is ambitious in supporting all learners, including those with additional needs, and provides excellent careers guidance and work experience to prepare pupils for their futures.

Key Strengths

  • Wide curriculum with well-planned content that reflects diversity - pupils study African kingdoms before slavery, read female and diverse authors

  • Improved behaviour this year with a clear, easy-to-understand policy and focus on restoring relationships

Areas for Improvement

  • Teachers don't always check pupils have understood new knowledge before moving on to the next topic, which can leave some pupils unprepared
  • Support for pupils with SEND and EAL is inconsistent across departments - available guidance isn't used routinely by all teachers
  • Phonics teaching for pupils who need it isn't delivered in a systematic, well-sequenced way to help them catch up quickly with reading

Safeguarding

Safeguarding arrangements are effective - leaders have created a strong safeguarding culture with regular staff training, weekly meetings to discuss vulnerable pupils, and proper vetting checks for all staff.

Extracurricular Activities

Chess, badminton, choir, retreats, visits to places of worship including local synagogue, work experience placements
