What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
Pupils and parents are proud to belong to the 'Chad Vale family'. The school works hard to promote this family ethos. The organisation of Chad and Vale houses is used to promote competition. It is also used to give pupils across the age ranges the opportunity to play and work together, so they get to know pupils from other age groups. Pupils are encouraged to be polite and caring to each other. Older pupils demonstrate this in their consideration of younger pupils. One parent described Chad Vale as having a 'village feel in the middle of the city'. Pupils say that behaviour in this school is good and they feel safe. If any bullying did happen, they are sure that adults would deal with it. Relationships between adults and pupils are polite and respectful. Pupils value the strong pastoral support that they receive. Staff clearly want the best for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils respond well to the school's high expectations for their academic studies. They work hard and achieve well. Pupils say they enjoy their lessons. Pupils have meaningful opportunities to develop their leadership skills and take on different responsibilities. They enjoy the wide range of before- and after-school activities and successfully take part in a variety of competitions.
What the school should improve
- Not all of the elements of the personal development curriculum are sufficiently developed. This means that pupils are not fully prepared for life in modern Britain. The school should review the personal development curriculum and ensure that all the required elements are taught so that pupils gain a deeper understanding of their rights and responsibilities in the wider community and fundamental British values.
- In some subjects, leaders have not identified the essential knowledge that teachers should prioritise and that pupils need to learn and remember. This means that some pupils find it difficult to build on what they know and connect their learning together. The school should ensure that the key knowledge pupils need to learn is clearly set out so that pupils develop a deeper understanding of each subject.
