What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 April 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to this inclusive school. They feel safe. Strong pastoral provision is in place. Parents are extremely positive about the care the school provides. One commented, 'Aloeric embraces individuality; strengths of children have always been recognised, even if they aren't all academic.' Leaders are determined that all pupils reach their full potential. Staff work together to create a curriculum that engages and interests pupils. Pupils enjoy their learning. They like finding out new things and sharing their learning with others. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school site. They understand the school's values and why these are important. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. When this happens, staff respond appropriately and with sensitivity. Pupils understand what bullying is. They say it does not happen but if it did, they were confident that adults would deal with it quickly. Pupils develop positive relationships with staff and each other. They have a good understanding of respect and the feelings of their fellow peers. Pupils appreciate the wide range of opportunities leaders provide, both in and out of school.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not identified with sufficient precision the important knowledge pupils need to learn in some wider curriculum subjects. It is not always explicit what pupils should know to enable them to have the building blocks for future learning. Leaders should ensure that key knowledge is identified and sequenced well so that all pupils know more and remember more over time.
- Assessment information is not always used well enough to check what pupils know and understand. In some wider curriculum subjects, pupils have gaps in subject-specific knowledge. Leaders need to ensure teachers systematically check what pupils know and can do when implementing the curriculum, so pupils are learning the essential knowledge they need.
