What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 19 September 2023

This is a school that lives its values on a daily basis: honesty, respect, perseverance, positivity, independence and compassion. Staff aspire to ensure that 'Every child that touches Allesley takes away a wonderful experience'. They achieve this aim in this warm, inclusive and welcoming school. Pupils are proud to be part of the school community and are very happy. Behaviour in the school reflects this. Staff's expectations of behaviour are very high, and pupils meet these expectations both in lessons and at breaktime or lunchtime. All adults are clear on the leaders' expectations and work extensively with pupils who might need support to meet the school's values. Pupils play very happily and are nearly always fully attentive in lessons. Parents are very positive about the school, as leaders make considerable efforts to engage with the community. The school works tirelessly to support vulnerable pupils and their parents or carers. This means that these pupils achieve well. The high expectations for pupils are reflected in a well-thought-out curriculum and pupils achieve very well.

What the school should improve

  • There is variability in how well phonics is delivered. As a result, some pupils do not learn to read as quickly as they should. Leaders should ensure that the phonics curriculum is delivered effectively across the school to enable all pupils to become fluent readers quickly.
  • Some pupils are absent from school too often, especially disadvantaged pupils. This means that they miss important learning. Leaders need to continue to review and develop the strategies they have adopted and the work with parents or carers to improve attendance so that pupils attend school regularly and do not miss valuable learning opportunities.
