What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 November 2022
Pupils are proud of the school. Leaders have high expectations for behaviour and learning. Some pupils said 'The Chestnuts Way' helps them get better at learning. This is because teaching makes clear what pupils must learn and how they will learn it. Most parents and carers are happy with the school. Many parents said leaders create a welcoming, inclusive community at the school. Parents appreciate the communication they receive through the weekly newsletter. Children in the early years settle quickly into school life. Pupils behave well around the school and in lessons. They are polite and courteous. Pupils are safe in school. Leaders sort out any incidents of bullying quickly. Pupils think and consider the needs of others. They enjoy raising funds for charitable causes, such as children in Ukraine. Pupils have opportunities to explore their interests. They enjoy taking part in the many clubs on offer, such as veterinary, debating, running and knitting clubs.
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders do not make sure teaching makes important knowledge explicit and that the curriculum is implemented consistently. As a result, pupils' knowledge is not equally secure in all subjects. Subject leaders should develop their expertise to monitor teaching to ensure they are implemented consistently well.
- In a few subjects, leaders have not sequenced important knowledge, skills and vocabulary from the early years. As a result, teaching does not routinely make key knowledge explicit in the early years. Leaders should identify the knowledge children must be taught in the early years, so children are effectively prepared for future learning.
