What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 April 2024

Armley Park School is a place of hope, aspiration and care. Pupils and families enjoy unwavering support from the school. The school goes beyond the 'extra mile' to remove barriers to education. Lessons are engaging and stimulating and allow the pupils to learn in a comfortable environment. The school has a diverse curriculum. Leaders and staff know the pupils well. The school is proud of the progress pupils make over time. Children talk with interest about the careers they want to follow. The school encourages all to be the best they can be while at the school and also in their adult life. Staff welcome the children into early years each morning. A smile and chat with parents set the day off to a positive start. The provision for early years is well thought out and provides pupils with a strong start to their time at Armley Park. Behaviour in school is calm. Expectations are high for all pupils. Pupils know and like the clarity in the expectations staff have. Activities beyond the classroom are carefully considered by leaders. They complement the taught curriculum, such as the pupils performing Shakespeare on stage in a theatre company in Leeds.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not attend school regularly. This means that they miss valuable learning and social interaction with their peers. This has the potential to limit their progress and development. The school must continue to develop a detailed analysis of absence to inform bespoke support to improve attendance.
