What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
Pupils at this school get on very well with one another. They play together harmoniously during social times. Pupils are happy and they feel safe. There are many opportunities for pupils to be leaders, such as reader leaders, book champions and 'heads up' ambassadors. Pupils are confident to talk to adults and are highly positive about being part of 'Team Cheveley' The school has high expectations for pupils' behaviour and their academic achievement. Pupils behave very well and low-level disruption is not tolerated. Pupils respond well to rewards and stickers. Pupils are kind to each other. Pupils say that bullying is rare and that, if it did happen, teachers would deal with it quickly. Pupils experience a wide-range of opportunities for extra-curricular activities. This includes sports, gardening club, story time adventures, student leadership responsibilities and drama and chess clubs. Pupils appreciate these and make good use of them.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the purpose, sequencing and checks of pupils' learning are not yet clearly mapped out. Expectations of what should be taught and when are, therefore, sometimes unclear. The school should ensure that the curriculum is clearly mapped out so that the purpose, sequencing and assessment are clear in all subjects.
- The intended purpose of new initiatives aimed at improving the curriculum is not fully understood or adhered to by all staff. This means that there is an inconsistent approach that can hamper pupils' learning. The school should swiftly and carefully evaluate the impact of any new initiatives and make sure that they are implemented by all staff in the way the school intended.
