What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils at Beech Grove are proud of their school, welcoming visitors with exemplary manners and conduct. They understand the school's 'next-door neighbour' principles and the school's five golden rules well. Pupils consistently show high levels of respect to adults and to one another. They are happy and safe. Highly trained staff put pupils' needs first in all they do. Pupils thrive in the warm and nurturing environment that the school fosters. Leaders have created a culture of high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils meet these expectations. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) achieve well. Those pupils who are eligible for the government's pupil premium funding achieve particularly well. Pupils engage well with their learning. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Behaviour is positive in both the school and the playground. Pupils use the word 'family' to describe the relationships between adults and pupils in the school. Parents and carers feel part of the school community. They have very positive attitudes towards the school and to how well their children are supported. Parents articulate this clearly. They appreciate the work the school does for pupils' academic, moral and social development.
What the school should improve
- The proportion of pupils who are persistently absent from school is too high. These pupils miss out on important learning and struggle to catch up when they are in school. The school should further develop its work to promote the benefits of attendance to parents and reduce the proportion of pupils who are persistently absent from school.
