What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 June 2023
Inclusion lies at the heart of Arnhem Wharf. Pupils are well looked after, are safe here and treat others with respect. Pupils build strong relationships with staff and peers alike. They know they can share any worries they may have with a member of staff. All pupils feel fully included in the life of the school, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have high expectations of pupils' learning. Leaders have designed a broad curriculum, which helps pupils to build a deep knowledge over time in most subjects. Pupils enjoy their lessons and behave well. All pupils enjoy a range of outings, which enhance the curriculum. For example, visits to the Tower of London when learning about monarchy or to the Natural History Museum to enrich their understanding of natural disasters. A wide range of activities, including coding and crochet, encourage pupils to enjoy a variety of interests. All pupils learn to play at least one musical instrument. The school provides opportunities for pupils to become leaders. Pupils elect their school council representatives, who work together to improve the school. Older children support their younger peers with reading and sports activities.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the activities that pupils complete do not match leaders' ambitious curriculum goals. As a result, in these subjects, pupils do not build their knowledge as deeply. Leaders should ensure that teachers are supported to implement the curriculum as intended.
