Ofsted's report, in its own words

What is it like to attend this school?

In referring to the work of the school's leaders, one pupil captured the feelings of many, and of staff, when they wrote: 'Thank you for making my school a better place for everyone.' The school insists that pupils learn in a calm and orderly environment. The school's curriculum is inclusive and ambitious for all. Pupils know that staff care about them and their futures. They are well supported in realising their next steps in education, employment or training. Most pupils achieve well, particularly by the end of key stage 4.

Relationships are typically positive between pupils and with staff. Most pupils display positive attitudes towards their learning. Most pupils are happy. They applaud positive achievement and value the 'praising stars' programme. Classrooms are purposeful.

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

Staff are united by a moral sense of purpose and determination for everyone's success. This ethos permeates all aspects of the school's provision. Staff have clarity about the school's expectations and its ambitious vision. Morale is high. Many staff say that the changes made in school have revitalised their enthusiasm and pride. They strongly value the school's investment in their professional learning. Teachers at an early stage of their career feel equally well supported.

The school's curriculum, for all subjects, identifies the knowledge and skills pupils need to know and remember. Learning 'journeys' enable pupils to build their knowledge over time. Alongside the academic curriculum, the school promotes pupils' social, moral and cultural development well. In art, for example, pupils explore Aboriginal and Chinese culture when learning to apply different techniques.
