What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning at Albert Village. They behave well in lessons and respond positively to adults' high expectations of what they should achieve. This applies to all pupils, including those who are disadvantaged or who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The atmosphere around the school is calm and purposeful. Pupils understand and uphold the school's values of 'Integrity, Kindness, Excellence'. They treat one another, and adults, with respect. They are confident that staff will sort out quickly and fairly any problems that may occur. Any pupils who require personal help for their mental health and well-being can access support from trained staff. Pupils benefit from an ever-increasing range of opportunities to enrich their wider personal development. They speak positively about the leadership roles they can take on, such as becoming pupil governors, sports ambassadors or play coaches. Pupils enjoy acting as role models for the younger ones, for example in the dining hall or by being 'reading buddies'. Educational visits, workshops and residential experiences foster pupils' independence and provide them with a valuable insight into the wider world beyond their locality.
What the school should improve
- A small number of foundation subjects are in the early stages of implementation. The impact on pupils' ability to develop secure knowledge and skills is not yet fully realised. In these subjects, pupils' work does not always demonstrate the same level of understanding as in other areas of the curriculum. The school should ensure that these subjects are firmly embedded, so that the curriculum is consistently strong across all areas. This will enable all pupils to achieve as highly as possible and to know and remember more in all subjects.
