Ofsted's report, in its own words
What is it like to attend this school?
Pupils benefit from a rich set of experiences to deepen their learning and inform their future aspirations. They have their eyes opened to a world beyond their locality that they would not otherwise see. Older pupils visit carefully selected prestige businesses and universities. This ignites their interests in careers such, as law, medicine and management.
Pupils are inspired to work hard, persevere and succeed. They are self-motivated and firmly committed to their studies. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education.
What does the school do well and what does it need to do better?
Leaders have successfully steered the school through a period of expansion into secondary-age provision. Through this change, the school has maintained its high educational standards. Pupils across the whole school, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. This is shown in national assessments and from pupils' work.
The school has recently updated its curriculum content. Across all subjects, teachers are clear as to what they need to teach and when. Staff know their subjects well and benefit from sharing expertise with each other. However, some curriculum changes are still in the early stages. The impact of recent staff training and mentoring is not yet fully evident or is still to start. This means there are some inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is currently delivered. As a result, opportunities to extend some pupils' learning further or fill gaps are not yet fully maximised.
