Ofsted Insights
What This School Does Well
The sixth form stands out as a real strength, with excellent teaching and staff who know their students well, leading to strong student outcomes and positive behavior. The school has successfully improved attendance to national average levels and demonstrates effective safeguarding practices. However, parents should be aware that the main school is currently underperforming and requires significant improvement.
Key Strengths
- Sixth form provision is strong with high-quality teaching and effective pastoral care - students achieve in line with national averages
- Safeguarding standards are met with an open culture where concerns are actively identified and acted upon
- Attendance has improved and is now in line with national averages, including for disadvantaged pupils and those with SEND
Areas for Improvement
- Teaching quality is weak - many lessons do not help pupils learn well, with poor explanations and limited adaptations for individual needs
- Pupil achievement is below expected standard, particularly in mathematics and science, with many pupils producing poor quality or incomplete classwork
- Leadership has been too slow to address weaknesses and governors have not effectively challenged or supported school improvement
- Behavior policy is new and not yet fully embedded - pupils need reminding of expectations and some display inappropriate attitudes
- Support for pupils with SEND is inconsistent - teachers lack training on how to help these students and their progress is not properly tracked
Safeguarding
Safeguarding standards are met with an open and positive culture where concerns are actively identified, acted upon and managed, making pupils safer and helping them feel safe.
Extracurricular Activities
Sporting pursuits, creative pursuits, mentorship of younger peers, visits to places of interest, residentials, school visitors
Moseley School and Sixth Form requires special measures due to failing to provide an acceptable standard of education. While the sixth form is effective, the main school has experienced significant decline in teaching quality, pupil achievement, and behavior standards.
