What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 July 2023
Pupils at Annecy feel like they are part of a family within the school. They feel safe here, and they know that staff care about their welfare outside of school as well. Pupils are happy and confident about coming to school. Leaders have steered the school through considerable changes, especially this academic year. As part of this, staff expect the best from and for their pupils. Pupils understand that the work they are given pushes them to do well. Consequently, they put their best efforts into meeting what staff expect of them. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) benefit strongly from the school's culture of high expectations. They are included fully in the life of the school. Pupils know what bullying is and how the school deals with it. They are confident that if they have concerns, these will be dealt with well by staff. Staff are consistent in their use of the new behaviour policy. As a result, pupils are respectful and kind towards one another. They behave well in class and around the school. Pupils are eager to receive a 'shining light' award for embodying the school's values.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not yet set out all aspects of the knowledge that pupils need for future learning. As a result, pupils do not always develop a rounded understanding of the subject discipline. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to build on their knowledge well in all subjects.
- In some subjects, the tasks set do not always enable pupils to fulfil the aims of the curriculum. This means that some pupils do not acquire and embed the knowledge that leaders intend. Leaders should make sure that the work set in all subjects aligns precisely with the intended curriculum.
