What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils get involved and they are enthusiastic about learning at this friendly school. The school is ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Pupils meet these aspirations and achieve well. The enthusiasm shown in lessons reflects the interesting and broad curriculum. Pupils enjoy learning about the rich Viking and Roman history on their doorstep in York and the geography of the Yorkshire coast. They see the relevance of their lessons to their world close to home and beyond. There is plenty for pupils to get involved with at school. Pupils regularly take the opportunity to develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy the choir, eco-warriors and the craft club, along with a range of sports. Dance is especially popular. For example, the entire school enthusiastically take part in dance events in the hall. Pupils behave and conduct themselves well. They are polite and they learn the school routines from an early age. Older pupils are keen to model the expectations for behaviour and conduct. Pupils form good relationships with staff. They know that they can talk to adults about any worries or concerns that they may have. Quite a number of pupils join during the year, or part way through their primary education. Many of these pupils speak English as an additional language. These pupils settle in very well. They feel welcome and part of the Badger Hill community.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects in the wider curriculum, the work given to pupils does not routinely support them to learn the more complex ideas and knowledge. This means that pupils are not consistently making connections in their learning and developing their deeper understanding of some subjects. The school should match activity choices and resources more precisely to the disciplinary knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn.
