Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils enjoy coming to school. Children in the early years are eager to explore the exciting activities that adults provide for them each day. Older pupils look forward to breaktimes when they play games with their friends, or just chat quietly if they prefer. Pupils of all ages trust that the adults at school will take care of them. They see their school as a safe and happy place.
The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils typically live up to these expectations, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils apply themselves well to their learning. They listen respectfully to teachers and work hard in lessons. By the time that they reach the end of Year 11, many pupils achieve well in a range of GCSEs.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
The school provides pupils with an ambitious curriculum that spans a suitably broad range of subjects. Due consideration has been given to the key knowledge that pupils should learn in each subject by the time that they leave the school. This knowledge has been broken down further into smaller, well-ordered steps. Pupils learn these steps in a logical order from the early years to Year 11. This ensures that pupils build new learning securely on what they already know and can do.
Almost all pupils come from homes where English is an additional language. The school supports these pupils effectively to develop strong reading, writing and communication skills in English. For example, in the early years, staff are adept at supporting children to learn new words and phrases in English while continuing to develop an understanding of their home language. This effective support helps pupils, including those with SEND, to learn the Chol (secular) curriculum successfully. The majority of pupils achieve well in the subjects that they study.
