Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Academic Progress: The quality of teaching and learning in both the primary and secondary phase is good. Teachers use consistent strategies to ensure that pupils make strong progress
Behaviour and Attitudes: Pupils’ behaviour is outstanding. Pupils are happy, motivated and excited to come to school. They demonstrate excellent attitudes to learning and rise to the high expectations set for them. Attendance is high
Support for Pupils Falling Behind: Ensure that all pupils are challenged and supported to achieve their absolute best, particularly disadvantaged and lower-attaining pupils
Teacher Engagement: Staff feel well supported and valued by leaders. They appreciate the training and professional development opportunities to improve their teaching skills, subject knowledge and leadership roles
Impact of Teaching on Student Progress: Teachers’ expectations of pupils are high. Suitably challenging tasks, including for most-able pupils, and routine assessments of pupils’ work instil in pupils the resilience and perseverance needed to make strong progress
Strengths or Challenges with Teaching Staff: Nevertheless, the progress of lower-attaining pupils and those that are disadvantaged is not as strong as that of other pupils
Opportunities for Parent Involvement: Parents and carers greatly appreciate what the school does for their children
Communication with Parents: Parents who spoke with inspectors, as well as the vast majority of those who completed Ofsted’s online questionnaire, were very positive about all aspects of school life
Parent Satisfaction: Parents also greatly appreciate what teachers do
Handling Conflicts and Concerns: Governors provide effective support to leaders and check key aspects of the school’s performance well
Actions to Enhance Education Quality: The roles of some middle leaders are currently developing. As a result, they are not yet fully effective in leading their areas of responsibility
Managing Bullying and Ensuring Safety: Leaders ensure that all staff are aware of the potential risks to pupils. They provide staff with relevant up-to-date training to safeguard pupils. Staff understand the school’s procedures for raising child protection or welfare concerns
Behaviour and Attitudes of Pupils: Pupils’ behaviour is outstanding. So is the quality of care, guidance and support, helping pupils to become responsible young citizens
Promoting Pupils' Welfare and Safety: Leaders have ensured that all statutory welfare requirements for the early years are met and that the school’s safeguarding processes are adhered to
Extracurricular Activities & Clubs: Pupils enjoy access to a range of sports activities, such as football, cricket, hockey, dance and gymnastics

Outdoor Facilities: A well-planned learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, provides varied teaching opportunities, which teachers take full advantage of in extending children’s learning
Career Counselling Services: In the secondary phase, pupils receive effective guidance to support their choice of subjects to study at GCSE
