What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 April 2024
Pupils at Chilwell Croft benefit greatly from their time at the school. The school's motto, 'All different, all equal, all achieving', is fully embraced, and pupils feel accepted for who they are without fear of being judged. Pupils enjoy learning and having fun, thanks to staff who ensure that there are positive experiences both in and outside the classroom. The school offers a range of trips and visitors to enrich their learning. The school has clear expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils understand these expectations and behave very well. In lessons, pupils are highly attentive and participate in learning enthusiastically. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement and does not place a ceiling on what they can learn. Leaders have taken appropriate action to ensure that what pupils learn is of high quality and broadens their experience of the world. Pupils speak very highly of their love of reading and readily talk to visitors about the more challenging work they are completing in mathematics.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, teachers do not consistently check pupils' previous learning. This means that misconceptions and gaps in learning are not addressed, so pupils do not always build on their learning effectively. The school should continue to embed consistent approaches to assessment and ensure that teachers carefully check what pupils have learned over time.
- Due to previous issues with the writing curriculum, some pupils have gaps in their writing knowledge and skills. This inhibits their ability to express themselves with fluency appropriate to their age. The school needs to ensure that teachers consistently support pupils to develop their fluency in writing in line with the curriculum design.
- The school has not monitored how well the curriculum has been delivered closely enough. As a result, there are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is delivered in some foundation subjects. The school should ensure that its quality assurance and professional development support all staff to deliver their curriculum as intended across all subjects.
