What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Butler's Hill is an inclusive school. Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Relationships between staff and pupils are warm and nurturing. Pupils feel safe, and know that they can share any concerns or worries they may have with any adult in school. Pupils engage well in lessons and show excitement about their learning. Pupils are happy, and feel proud of their school and of the extra responsibilities that they can take on. One school councillor said, 'I go to special meetings where we talk about what we can do for our school to make it better.' Pupils describe bullying as 'making someone sad every single day'. Pupils feel that it does not happen at the school. One pupil said, 'It doesn't happen here - this is a kind school.' Pupils know the school's values and aims. Conversations between adults and pupils often refer to them. Leaders have created a 'family feel' ethos. Staff are a united team, and are keen to involve the local community in the learning opportunities planned for pupils and in their charity work. An example of this is the harvest festival, which collects donations for the local food bank.
What the school should improve
- Pupils' understanding of the fundamental British values is not secure. Pupils struggle to recognise or relate these values to their everyday lives. Leaders should ensure that they enhance pupils' spiritual, moral, social and cultural development well, in all respects, so that pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain.
- Leaders do not support staff to make full use of assessment information. This means that, in some foundation subjects, the curriculum is not always adapted to address pupils' gaps in knowledge. Leaders should ensure that assessment information is used effectively to inform teaching, so that pupils receive clear feedback and remember long term what they have been taught.
