What This School Does Well
The school has successfully implemented proper safeguarding procedures with all staff vetted appropriately and files properly organised. Students now receive structured careers guidance helping them plan realistic career pathways, and citizenship education ensures they understand British public institutions and services. The school has promptly addressed health and safety hazards in facilities and boarding areas.
Key Strengths
- Careers guidance improved with external provider support and individual pathway planning for sixth form students
- Citizenship and personal-social education now properly timetabled and delivered to all students
- Staff recruitment and safeguarding procedures overhauled with safer recruitment training and updated background checks
- Physical maintenance issues addressed including pathway repairs, lighting fixes, and fire door mechanisms
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality remains inadequate with teachers over-relying on commercial lesson plans without customising for different ability groups
- Assessment practices weak - teachers still not using assessment data to plan lessons meeting individual student needs, particularly for more able students
- Curriculum gaps persist in physical education and aesthetic-cultural subjects with insufficient breadth and outside classroom experiences
- Marking does not effectively guide student improvement and student self-assessments not routinely validated
Safeguarding
Safeguarding regulations are now met following comprehensive staff recruitment policy overhaul, safer recruitment training for senior staff, and updated background checks for all employees.
