What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Charlton Wood Academy is a successful school where pupils thrive. All adults share high aspirations for pupils. Pupils work hard to meet these. Parents' views are overwhelmingly positive. They typically comment on the caring staff and dedicated support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They move around the school with a quiet focus. Classrooms, corridors and social times are orderly and calm. From the beginning of the Reception Year onwards, pupils are kind and respectful to one another. They diligently follow the school's routines. Pupils show highly positive attitudes to learning. They feel safe at school. Pupils know and understand the school's values of respect, understanding, perseverance and pride. They go out of their way to help and support other pupils. The school provides opportunities for pupils to develop leadership skills. For example, they enjoy roles as members of the pupil parliament, corridor monitors and environment leaders. Pupils enjoy the range of clubs, including dance, cookery and a range of sports. This helps them to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school does not set out how pupils' learning will be assessed. As a result, pupils' errors and misconceptions are sometimes missed. The school and trust should clarify the use of assessment in these subjects and use the information to check the impact the curriculum has on pupils' learning.
