What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 March 2025
Baguley Hall is a safe haven for its pupils. They come to school each day brimming with happiness and full of smiles. They have warm, positive and respectful relationships with staff, who are caring and supportive. Pupils feel safe in the school's welcoming and nurturing environment. Pupils behave very well. They know that the school has high expectations for their behaviour and achievement. They follow the school rules and aim to treat others as they wish to be treated. Pupils are thoughtful and considerate. They display positive attitudes for learning. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Developments to the curriculum since the previous inspection have had a positive impact on how well pupils learn. Most pupils achieve well in a wide range of subjects. Effective strategies ensure that those pupils who need additional help to keep up with their learning, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported well. A wide range of enrichment activities are available to all pupils. They take part in extra-curricular clubs and residential trips. Members of the school council speak enthusiastically about the 'edible playground', where the gardening club grows fruit and vegetables that are used in the school kitchen.
What the school should improve
- The most important knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn, including the areas where they need to deepen their understanding, have not been precisely outlined in all subjects. As a result, sometimes pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that the curriculum for all subject is equally well constructed and that pupils have the opportunity to secure their learning and develop a deeper understanding of curriculum content.
- Some members of the governing body do not have sufficient knowledge and understanding to be able to conduct their role effectively. This means that they do not fulfil their roles as best as they could. The governing body should ensure that all members have the knowledge that they need to evaluate the school's effectiveness further.
