What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 July 2024
Allington with Sedgebrook is a happy school. Pupils enjoy coming to this school and attend regularly. It is a place where they feel safe. Relationships throughout the school are caring and professional. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and what they can achieve. Pupils play harmoniously together outside in mixed-age, and gender groups. Pupils build strong friendships. They are proud to attend this school. Pupils talk positively about the school values of hope, respect, ambition, forgiveness, truth and generosity. One typically stated: 'People are kind and friendly because of our values.' Pupils understand the importance of being responsible citizens. They have an age- appropriate understanding of fundamental British values. They show tolerance and respect for others. One pupil said: 'Being different makes you special and we are all different, so we are all special. Being different is good.' There are opportunities for pupils to change the school for the better. Members of the school council and sports ambassadors talk proudly of the work they do. For example, they organised a 'spot the ball' and penalty shoot-out during a recent football tournament. This raised money for play equipment and local charities. As one pupil said: 'I feel like I am making a difference at this school.'
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the way a few subjects are implemented. This means that learning is not always linked, and pupils do not recall some knowledge that they have been taught. The school should make sure that leaders have a greater oversight of the implementation, and impact, of curriculum and that they have the mechanisms to check that pupils remember what they have been taught.
- The environment in the EYFSdoes not always enable children to work collaboratively with their peers and to focus on projects for sustained periods. This means that children do not explore their learning as fully as they could. The school should continue to develop further the learning environment to create more opportunities for children to explore, and consolidate, their own learning.
