What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 1 November 2023

Well-being is prioritised at Albemarle. Pupils are happy and kept safe. They learn how to maintain good mental and physical health. For example, worry boxes in classrooms enable them to share any concerns they might have. The playground is well maintained with lots of activities on offer. These support pupils to develop their confidence and take risks safely. The diversity of the school community is celebrated, threaded through the curriculum and represented in the books pupils read. Pupils participate in workshops and literary festivals and enjoy visits from local authors and poets. This helps to ensure pupils demonstrate a genuine enthusiasm for reading and writing. They readily talk about the books they enjoy and explain why they have chosen them. Pupils are respectful and polite to one another, staff and visitors. They behave well in lessons and around the school. This means pupils can focus on their learning. They are expected to work hard and produce work of good quality, which they do. Pupils report that discrimination of any kind is not tolerated. Consequently, they feel included and accepted.

What the school should improve

  • A few foundation subjects are at an earlier stage of implementation. In these instances, some pupils are not given sufficient opportunity to revisit and embed important concepts. This means these pupils do not deepen their knowledge as successfully. The school should ensure that the curriculum is fully embedded across each subject area and that pupils are given sufficient opportunity to secure key ideas.
