What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 February 2023
Charsfield is a friendly and caring school. It feels 'like a family in its own right'. Pupils play well together. They are kind and thoughtful towards one another. Pupils feel safe at school. Pupils learn about bullying and say that there is none in the school. They are confident to talk to an adult if they are worried about anything. Pupils say that their teachers are kind and helpful. Pupils like the new curriculum that leaders have provided. They can talk in great detail about what they have learned. Pupils achieve well in all subjects. They enjoy the wide variety of clubs, curriculum visits and visitors organised by their teachers. Pupils enjoy learning, and behaviour is usually good in class. Occasionally, pupils get so excited to be with their friends that they do not concentrate as well as they could. Adults do not always have high enough expectations for pupils' behaviour in lessons. Pupils readily take on responsibilities, such as helping to improve their school as school councillors. Pupils support a range of different local and national charities. They learn to be active and caring citizens of modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- Some targets for pupils with SEND are too broad. It is not easy to check whether pupils are making sufficient progress against these targets and to adapt the plans accordingly. Leaders should ensure that targets for pupils with SEND are sharply focused so that leaders can accurately check on pupils' progress.
- There are occasions when pupils get excited in class because they are with their friends. At these times, they do not concentrate enough or produce their best work. Leaders should ensure that all adults working with pupils have consistently high expectations for pupils' learning behaviour.
