What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils love coming to this school and enjoy being part of 'Team Bartons'. They arrive each day motivated to learn. The school sets high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils achieve well in many subjects. A buzz of excited learning permeates from each classroom. Pupils behave well in lessons. They learn how to work with each other productively, listen and disagree politely. Pupils treat each other with a high level of respect. The school places great emphasis on the importance of the school's values, such as independence, communication and happiness. Pupils understand the school's values well, striving to demonstrate them in all that they do. Pupils enjoy winning house points for exhibiting these values successfully. They love taking home the 'Bartons' batons' and passing on these values to those at home. The partnership between school and home is strong. Older pupils have many opportunities to develop their leadership skills, such as being house captains and reading ambassadors. Pupils appreciate being able to visit 'well-being HQ' during breaktimes, where the trained pupil 'well-being champions' help them with any worries. Pupils feel safe and know that adults act in their best interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the tasks that pupils are asked to complete do not help them to learn what is set out in the school's curriculum. When this happens, pupils do not develop the depth of subject-specific knowledge and skills that they could. The school should ensure that staff have the support needed to be able to select and use tasks that better support the implementation of the curriculum.
- Assessment is in its infancy in some wider curriculum subjects. It is not used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the knowledge they have been taught and to inform future learning. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively to check on what pupils know and can do, so that they are well prepared for their next stage.
