Anglo European School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 March 2024

Pupils at Anglo European School (AES) experience a broad curriculum with a uniquely international approach. They enjoy, and benefit from, a range of opportunities that develop their language skills, interest in the world, and their resilience. Most pupils attend overseas visits, for instance to China. Many participate in exchange visits with pupils from overseas. Pupils become active, engaged citizens. They discuss issues articulately and respectfully. Pupils learn how to keep themselves safe. They have confidence in the actions teachers take to support them. The school has worked hard to improve pupils' behaviour. Most pupils behave very well. When some do not, they receive the support they need to improve. Pupils receive precisely tailored careers guidance that enables them to be extremely well prepared for their next steps. This goes beyond the expected. The majority of sixth-form students undertake overseas work experience. Pupils have rich opportunities to take part in enterprise activities and competitions. These develop a comprehensive understanding of the world of work. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Students in the sixth form can study a range of courses, including International Baccalaureate programmes and A levels. They achieve highly. Many students go on to study and work around the world.

What the school should improve

• Some teachers do not check carefully in lessons if all pupils have understood what they have been taught. As a result, gaps in knowledge are not always identified. The school should ensure that teachers check the learning of all pupils so that they can identify gaps and swiftly adjust the curriculum to close them.
