Ofsted
Good Inspected 24 May 2022
Strengths
- “Pupils are rightly proud of their school.”
- “They especially value the vast range of extracurricular opportunities on offer.”
- “These opportunities play an important role in supporting pupils’ mental health and well-being.”
To improve
- “However, the curriculum is not equally strong in all subjects.”
- “For example, there is not a coherently planned computing curriculum in place for Years 8 and 9.”
- “While leaders rightly value department flexibility, whole-school monitoring does not always identify and share the best practice.”
