What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils are happy at Charter Academy and enjoy coming to school. Staff have created a safe and respectful learning environment. Pupils learn to be kind and polite. They know that school is always a fair place and that all are included and welcomed. From a very young age, pupils start to develop confidence, resilience and independence. They know that it is 'okay to get things wrong' and that you have to keep trying. Pupils are keen to learn and to improve their knowledge and skills. The school has high expectations for them. Pupils do their best to meet these aspirations. Pupils understand the need to behave well and do so. They feel safe at school. Oracy is at the heart of the curriculum. Pupils' skills and understanding of language have developed from the teaching of oracy, where you learn 'to talk through talk' and 'to listen'. Pupils' learning in all subject areas benefits from the development of these skills. Pupils enjoy a range of learning opportunities outside the classroom. All look forward to their forest school lessons and visits to places of interest. The school ensures that all school trips have links to classroom learning. All benefit from taking part in pupil leadership lessons.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, monitoring and assessment processes do not provide sufficient information that will help teachers plan the next steps in learning effectively. This means that pupils sometimes do not make the progress they could. The school should ensure that teachers use effective assessment strategies in all subjects to identify and plan what needs to be taught next in a sequence of learning.
- A few teachers are not as confident in teaching some areas of the curriculum as they are in others. The teaching is not always responsive enough to the needs of all pupils. As a result, pupils' knowledge and understanding do not improve as much as they could. The school should ensure that all relevant staff have the required knowledge to deliver the curriculum effectively.
