What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 January 2023
Carshalton High School for Girls is a calm, welcoming school. Pupils are happy and feel safe. Leaders have developed a culture where pupils behave well and work hard. Adults in the school know pupils well and support them to achieve. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). This is realised in the curriculum offered and the wider opportunities that leaders provide. There is a thriving student council, and pupils are encouraged to engage and lead on school matters. Currently, pupils on the council are developing proposals to support the school's work on sustainability. Pupils concentrate well in lessons and enjoy their learning. The vast majority of pupils behave well in lessons, and staff are consistent in their approach to managing any poor behaviour. This means that learning is rarely disrupted. In most subjects, the curriculum is well thought through. In a small number of subjects, leaders' curriculum thinking has not been as thorough. Pupils behave well around the school. Relationships between staff and pupils, and between pupils themselves, are positive. Pupils are confident in reporting bullying and say that staff tackle it effectively. A small proportion of pupils sometimes behave in ways that do not meet with leaders' high expectations.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, there is insufficient consideration of component knowledge and the sequencing of lessons. As a result, pupils do not achieve as well in these subjects as they could. Leaders should prioritise curriculum development for this small number of subjects.
- In a few cases, pupils' behaviour and conduct do not meet leaders' expectations. This disrupts the otherwise harmonious atmosphere in the school. Leaders should ensure that pupils' behaviour throughout the school is of a consistently high standard.
