What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
Pupils enjoy being part of the community at Bishopswood Junior School. They form positive and warm relationships. These are the hallmark of the school's life, contributing towards pupils being happy and safe. Pupils behave well in lessons and listen carefully to their teachers. There are clear routines around behaviour, and teachers apply these consistently. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), respond well to staff's high expectations of their work and behaviour. Pupils talk about how the values of the school help them. For example, 'respect' reminds them that they should take time and effort over their work. At break and lunchtimes, pupils play together with their friends from across the federation on the tyre track and trim trail. Pupils enjoy the roles of responsibility they have in school. They are confident that adults listen to the opinions of pupil leaders to make the school even better. Reading ambassadors are proud of their role in selecting interesting books for the library.
What the school should improve
- There are minor inconsistencies in the implementation of the agreed pedagogical approaches in mathematics. This means that not all pupils recall number facts as well as they could. The school should ensure that all staff get the support they need to deliver the intended curriculum.
- The school has not chosen the most important content it wants pupils to recall in some areas of their work to enhance pupils SMSC development. This means that pupils do not understand enough about the selected world faiths. The school should ensure that key content is identified and revisited so that pupils are more fully equipped for life in modern Britain.
