What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Pupils and staff at Byron Wood are proud of their school and its diversity. Pupils regularly join the school at different points during the year. Some are new to the country and others are new to education. All pupils settle very well. They are supported by caring adults who help them to quickly learn the school routines. Pupils say they feel safe and know that they can speak with a trusted adult if they have any worries or concerns. Around the school, pupils conduct themselves well. From Nursery, children understand the school's expectations. In classrooms, pupils engage in learning, listen to adult instruction and try their best. They celebrate each other's achievements. The school is ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. In national tests, many pupils do not achieve as well as the school would like them to. The school prioritises pupils' well-being and their development of important language skills so that they can access the curriculum as well as possible. Pupils' personal development is extremely well considered. Pupils learn how to keep themselves healthy and safe. Wider experiences improve pupils' academic, personal and social skills. These provide pupils with deliberate opportunities to learn new words through different situations. For example, younger pupils have their first visit to a farm to learn new words related to the animals they see.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly. This can be due to extended time away from the school. Pupils miss important learning, which has a negative impact on their academic progress and wider development. The school should continue to work with families to overcome any barriers to attendance and ensure more pupils attend school regularly.
- In a few subjects, staff do not consistently make curriculum adaptations that meet the needs of pupils with SEND. This means that some pupils with SEND do not learn as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure that it supports staff to make effective adaptations to the curriculum so that pupils with SEND achieve well in all subjects.
- Some older pupils do not talk with enthusiasm about the books that they read. They do not appreciate the benefits of learning to read or developing a love of reading. The school should continue its efforts to establish a strong culture of reading across the school.
