What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 6 January 2026

Pupils feel valued, included and supported at Causeway Green. They learn in a safe, nurturing environment where staff know them well and help them to grow in confidence. A comprehensive programme of visits enriches the curriculum, brings learning to life and creates memorable experiences. Pupils enjoy a rich curriculum and take part in exciting activities, including visits from the Royal Ballet and dance companies, 'jam club', residentials and a wide range of sports clubs. These experiences spark curiosity, build pupils' skills and help them to develop new interests and talents. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities, disadvantaged pupils and those known to social care actively participate in all aspects of school life. They feel a deep sense of belonging and pride in their school community. Pupils attend regularly because leaders promote attendance with consistency and care. Staff work closely with families to remove any barriers to learning and/or wellbeing and provide tailored support. They monitor attendance closely and act quickly when concerns arise, helping to ensure that pupils receive the encouragement and guidance they need to attend well. Pupils typically achieve well and enjoy learning across the curriculum. They build up their knowledge as they move through the school. Disadvantaged pupils make secure progress because leaders prioritise reducing barriers to their learning and wellbeing. Pupils, including children in the early years, are generally well prepared for the next stage of education. Pupils behave well across the school. They feel safe and trust adults to deal with any issues. Bullying is rare and staff address concerns quickly and effectively. Pupils show high levels of tolerance, understanding and inclusion, which helps create an environment where everyone can succeed.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that subject content is consistently taught well so that pupils build up detailed knowledge and skills, and produce high-quality work across the curriculum.
  • Leaders should ensure that staff maximise the opportunities to engage children in high- quality interactions throughout the day so that children can fully develop their understanding and use of communication and language.
