What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Boughton Leigh Junior School is a happy and friendly place to be. Staff greet pupils every day with a smile, and pupils respond well to the warm and positive relationships in school. Staff have high expectations of how pupils should behave and are excellent role models in how to do so. Pupils display positive behaviour at all points of the day. Pupils work hard in lessons. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They take great pride in their work, and books are presented to an impressively high standard. In some areas of the curriculum pupils achieve very well. However, this is not yet the case in all subjects. The zoned playground ensures there is something for everyone to enjoy. Pupils particularly enjoy exploring the wildlife garden. The 'play shack' provides many additional toys and resources that pupils can access. The school promotes pupils' personal development exceptionally well. The school has high ambitions that pupils are 'ready for life'. Pupils understand that the school's values of being supportive, tolerant, aspirational, respectful and successful are important, saying 'everyone should live by these'. A wide variety of opportunities allow pupils to practise and demonstrate these values in different aspects of school life.
What the school should improve
- The way the school assesses pupils' gaps in phonic knowledge is not always accurate and underestimates what pupils can do. This means pupils are not receiving the precise teaching they need to make rapid progress from their starting points. The school should ensure that accurate phonics assessments are in place for pupils at the early stages of reading and check that all staff are able to address these gaps and teach phonics well.
- The school has not identified the important knowledge pupils need to learn in a few subjects. Consequently, pupils are not always taught the things they need to successfully build on their learning. The school should ensure the curriculum outlines, in detail, the precise knowledge pupils need to learn and in what order in all subjects.
