Ofsted

Not judged Inspected 20 May 2025

Strengths

“Warm and respectful relationships exist between staff and pupils in this school.”
“Since the last inspection, pupils’ behaviour has improved.”
“The majority of pupils behave well during structured lesson times and sensibly during unstructured times, such as breaktimes and lunchtime.”

To improve

“While expectations for pupils’ behaviour have increased, expectations for pupils’ achievement, particularly at key stages 3 and 4, are not high enough and some pupils do not achieve as well as they should.”
“Pupils’ experience and learning in the classroom from Year 7 to Year 11 are too variable.”
“However, this ambition is not reflected in published outcomes, which fall significantly below national averages.”

Safeguarding: Effective
