What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 September 2022
Blackfield is a welcoming and happy school where staff and pupils take pride in their community. Its 'INSPIRE' values run through every aspect of the life of the school. Pupils live up to leaders' high expectations and aspire to achieve the school's 'VIP' status for the day, by showing these values in action. Pupils look forward to the regular trips and 'hook' activities that teachers and leaders arrange to capture their interest in new areas of study. These range from trips to the zoo and Stonehenge to welly walks for the early years. Pupils feel safe because they know that adults listen to them and care about them. Around the school and at breaktimes, pupils are kind and considerate. Pupils understand and follow the school rules: 'be safe, be kind, do your best'. The school offers a wide variety of clubs ranging from futsal to rock band and the opportunity to be part of the onsite radio station. These are very popular and allow all pupils to develop their talents and interests. At breaktimes, pupils are active. Pupil play leaders organise a range of games and support their peers to have fun together.
What the school should improve
- Staff do not always adapt learning activities well enough to meet the needs of pupils with SEND. This means that sometimes pupils find it difficult to understand new concepts and curriculum content. Leaders should provide training for staff to address these few inconsistencies.
- Teachers' subject knowledge is not as strong in some foundation subjects. Therefore, the teachers do not implement some of the curriculum in some subjects as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that all teachers have strong subject knowledge in all subjects.
