What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2022
Pupils know what it means to be part of the 'Callicroft family'. They understand the importance of following the school's values of 'excellence, friendship, honesty, respect, perseverance and courage'. They know how these values help them to be polite, welcoming and understanding of others. Staff have high expectations of pupils. Pupils appreciate the relationships they have with staff. They talk positively about the help and support the teachers in school give them. Many parents commented about improvements they had seen in the school, such as the 'stay and share' sessions. However, some raised concerns about pupils' behaviour. Leaders have put new systems in place to ensure that pupils behave well. Pupils say that behaviour is improving because of this. Inspectors saw most pupils behaving well and the school's records show that this is typical. Pupils are clear about the rights that everyone has in the society they live in. They have a good understanding of democracy and why the right to vote is important. Pupils enjoy the space and activities on offer at playtime. They enjoy taking part in the running and multi-sports clubs. Whether pupils are playing sports, using the 'jungle gym' or climbing frame, they feel well cared for.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, assessment is not used well enough to check that pupils have remembered the essential knowledge they have been taught. As a result, some pupils are not able to recall in detail what they have learned. Leaders should ensure that assessment is used effectively to check what pupils know and remember across all subjects.
- Some pupils' communication and language skills are in the early stages of development. As a result, some pupils cannot articulate the knowledge they have learned as successfully as they should. Leaders need to ensure that staff provide high-quality opportunities to develop pupils' communication and language skills in all areas of the curriculum.
