What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
Pupils at Chaddlewood are curious and inquisitive. They are proud to attend the school. Pupils share many examples of teachers 'inspiring a love of learning'. One pupil commented 'school is like home', to exemplify the strong relationships that exist throughout the school community. Pupils feel safe and secure. They do not worry about bullying. Pupils know that all adults in school are there to care for them. Playtimes are harmonious. Pupils act as play and sports leaders to help everyone get along, communicate well, and have fun. Leaders have high expectations for pupils to be successful. They support and enable pupils to have equally high expectations of themselves. Most pupils learn well across the curriculum. However, some pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not consistently receive the most effective support. Leaders offer an exceptional range of opportunities, including extra-curricular activities, to develop and nurture pupils' talents and interests. For example, pupils take part in local sport and music competitions. Many pupils participate in the experiences that leaders offer. Leaders monitor the provision carefully to ensure it is accessible to all. Parents appreciate the time that staff take to communicate with them. They say that leaders want the best for every pupil.
What the school should improve
- Learning activities do not always help pupils to learn the intended curriculum as well as they could. Work in books does not always match the aspirational curriculum aims and some pupils do not always have opportunities to deepen their learning. Leaders need to ensure that all learning helps pupils to know more and remember more.
- Teachers make adaptations to learning to enable pupils with SEND to access the curriculum. However, some of these adaptations are not supporting some pupils to progress as well as they could through the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that all teachers understand how to make suitable adaptations to learning, so that all pupils progress well.
