Ofsted
School remains Good Inspected 16 March 2022
Strengths
- “‘The school always encourages us to aim high,’ said one student, typical of many, to the lead inspector as she explained her desire to study at Oxbridge.”
- “Many students are successful in their aspirations to continue studying when they leave.”
- “The school’s values of ‘everyone learning, everyone caring’ are at the heart of everything leaders plan.”
To improve
- “Recent changes to the way pupils choose subjects to study in key stage 4 mean that some pupils in Year 9 have missed key learning in geography.”
- “However, in a small number of subjects, leaders are aware that the curriculum is not yet as effective as it is, for example, in the core subjects.”
- “On a very few occasions, pupils are not as committed to their learning as they could be.”
