What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 April 2025
Pupils love their school. They say that Chalgrove staff inspire them to 'dream big'. Pupils say the staff are 'brilliant' because they encourage ambition and support them to meet both their academic and social goals. The school is aspirational for all pupils. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) thrive. This is because the school structures academic learning and key experiences carefully to build each pupil's confidence and resilience. The school ensures that every child is able to participate fully in both the academic curriculum and a range of enrichment activities. Consequently, pupils achieve well. Pupils' behaviour is commendable. They appreciate the school's newly established expectations and feel proud to reflect the school's values of being ready to learn, respectful and responsible. Pupils know the importance of getting a strong education. As a result, they work hard and attend school regularly. The school provides many opportunities for pupils to take on positions of responsibility. This includes becoming members of the school council, and listening to younger pupils read. A range of interesting trips and a broad variety of school clubs, such as those for sports, languages and gardening, allow pupils to expand their interests.
What the school should improve
- Some of the tasks given to pupils in the wider curriculum subjects are not designed precisely enough to help pupils to reinforce and retain key information. As a result, there are variations in how securely pupils learn the intended curriculum. The school should make sure that the tasks given to pupils help them to remember, long term, the essential knowledge and skills that they have been taught.
- In the wider curriculum subjects, there is some inconsistency in how effectively staff check that pupils have a secure understanding of the important knowledge and skills that they need. For some pupils, gaps in learning are not addressed swiftly, meaning they do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that staff use the school's assessment strategies efficiently to identify and address gaps in pupils' learning consistently.
