Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

Pupils feel happy and proud to be part of a caring, close-knit school community. They share respectful relationships with staff who know them well. Pupils trust that there are people who they can talk to if they have a concern or worry.

Most pupils rise to meet the high academic expectations that the school sets and their achievement is improving. However, the curriculum does not meet the needs and interests of some pupils as well as it should. In addition, there remains variation in how well subjects are taught. This impacts on the extent and depth of some pupils' learning.

What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?

The school, supported by trustees, has considerably improved the breadth and ambition of the overarching curriculum. Pupils now study a wider range of subjects than they did in the past. Typically, most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in the subjects that they study. However, more work is needed to ensure that the breadth of subjects is fully commensurate with that of the national curriculum. The school is aware of this and it is taking action, for example by introducing geography in Years 10 and 11. It hopes to improve the proportion of pupils who study the suite of subjects that make up the English Baccalaureate.
