What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Ashlea House School is a nurturing place where pupils are happy. Many pupils have had long periods of disrupted education prior to joining this school. The school supports pupils well to re-engage with their education. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Most pupils meet these expectations by learning and achieving well. Pupils develop positive relationships with each other and with their teachers. Pupils benefit from well-established routines. Staff deal with behaviour issues sensitively. This helps pupils who may become unsettled to refocus on their work. They generally behave well in lessons and around the school. Pupils have many opportunities to learn about life beyond school. For example, they visit museums, a farm and a local observatory. They access a range of activities, such as football, swimming, tennis and climbing. Pupils enjoy volunteering in their community and raising money for charity. At lunchtimes, pupils cook food for their peers. This helps them to develop their independence and confidence in preparation for adulthood. Staff help pupils to understand the risks that they may face online and in the local area. For example, pupils performed enthusiastically in a courtroom role play about cyberbullying. This also helped them to develop their speaking and listening skills.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not identified clearly enough what knowledge it wants pupils to acquire. As a result, some pupils have insecure foundations on which to build new learning. The school should ensure that in these subjects, it carefully sets out the knowledge that it wants pupils to learn and remember.
- A small number of staff lack aspects of the subject knowledge required to deliver curriculum content well. This hinders how well some pupils achieve. The school should ensure that staff are well trained to deliver all aspects of the curriculum.
