What This School Does Well

The school has strong academic ambitions and teaches reading brilliantly in the early years, helping pupils become confident readers. Girls are encouraged to develop leadership skills and make a positive impact, recently leading whole-school fundraising campaigns for charities supporting women and girls.

Key Strengths

  • Exceptional pupil behaviour with high levels of self-discipline and respect for staff and peers - rated Outstanding
  • Strong reading culture with effective phonics teaching in early years and Year 1, supported by regular library visits
  • Well-sequenced curriculum that builds knowledge progressively across subjects, with pupils typically meeting high academic expectations
  • Effective support for pupils with SEND, enabling them to learn alongside peers
  • Strong personal development through enrichment programmes, assemblies exploring values like kindness and morality, and comprehensive careers guidance

Areas for Improvement

  • Essential knowledge pupils should learn is sometimes unclear, meaning activities don't always focus on required learning
  • Checks on learning don't always assess whether pupils have learned specific information, allowing knowledge gaps to go unaddressed
  • Limited GCSE subject choice - pupils currently cannot select their own subjects

Safeguarding
