Similar to Ofsted, Challenge Partners look at individual areas as well as the school overall. In November 2024 they judged the school overall to be LEADING and felt that the school was LEADING in each of the following areas:
- Leadership at all levels
- Quality of provision and outcomes
- Quality of provision and outcomes for disadvantaged pupils and pupils with additional needs
We also received an area of excellence accreditation for our work with our whole school reading strategy: making classrooms inclusive for all.
The full report is available here and below are some highlights:
- Students say the school 'is a community' and it 'brings people together'.
- Students are confident and speak highly of their teachers and know the aspirational targets they are aiming for.
- Students said they 'love the enthusiasm from staff' when learning key knowledge in lessons.
- A strong careers education programme is mapped out ... and supports students to make wellinformed decisions.
- Positive attitudes in all lessons demonstrate students' commitment to their learning.
- Students across the school are compliant and they can participate in lessons free from disruption leading to '100% engagement'.
