What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils at Castle Hill enjoy coming to school to see their friends and are enthusiastic about their learning. They maintain positive relationships with peers and adults in the school community. Pupils benefit from the wide range of opportunities on offer to support their well-being. In turn, this helps them in becoming confident and resilient learners. Staff have high expectations for pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils rise to these expectations. They typically achieve well and make positive progress through the curriculum from their individual starting points. Pupils behave extremely well in class and around the school. They embody the school values of aspiration and respect, demonstrating a deep understanding of the school's code of conduct. Pupils readily support each other to consistently be 'safe, respectful, and ready'. Staff readily support any pupils who become distracted to refocus on their work and meet teachers' expectations. Pupils relish the opportunities offered to them to take on responsibilities, such as being a prefect or 'well-being ambassador'. They understand how these roles help to prepare them for the future. Pupils feel safe in this highly inclusive, caring and nurturing school. They are taught how to keep themselves safe online and in the community.
What the school should improve
- Errors and misconceptions in pupils' writing across the curriculum are not identified and addressed in a timely way. As a result, the quality of pupils' written work beyond English is not of a consistent fluency or quality. The school should ensure that pupils are given opportunity to develop their writing in different subjects. The school should also ensure that assessment is used consistently to identify and correct errors and misconceptions.
