Quick insights from ofsted Powered by AI
This insight was generated by AI, based on latest Ofsted report.
Academic Progress: Pupils have not achieved well enough in external qualifications due to lack of curriculum rigour, poor teaching, and attendance. Recent improvements are starting to show positive impact.
Behaviour and Attitudes: Behaviour in lessons is generally calm, but outside of lessons can be poor. Some pupils feel uncomfortable at social times.
Managing Bullying and Safety: Bullying is rare and dealt with quickly, but some older girls experience sexualised comments. Pupils feel safe but some no longer report these issues.
Promoting Welfare and Safety: Leaders have not effectively addressed inappropriate behaviours among older students. PHSE curriculum improvements are recent with gaps in older pupils' knowledge.
Career Counselling Services: Effective careers provision supports all pupils onto post-16 qualification programmes when they leave school.
Preparation for Sixth Form: Limited range of post-16 courses due to poor academic performance.
Managing and Supporting SEND: Pupils with special educational needs are supported effectively, both academically and in their wider development.
