What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 January 2023

Pupils are happy to attend school. They behave very well and are respectful of adults and each other. Pupils enjoy learning and spending time with their friends. They model the school's 'Clifton Way' values, including teamwork and perseverance in all they do. Pupils feel safe and are confident that staff would help them with any problems or worries they may have. Pupils know what bullying is and say it is rare at the school. They are sure that if it did happen, an adult would deal with it quickly. Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. Pupils experience a broad and interesting curriculum. They are academically, socially and emotionally well prepared for the next steps in their education. Pupils' personal development is a priority. Pupils have opportunities to develop their leadership skills, for example as part of the active squad, the eco-committee or as play leaders. Leaders plan visits to support the subjects that pupils are learning about and to help them gain a better understanding of the world outside of their village. Pupils enjoy the clubs that are on offer, including choir, chess and cheerleading.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, pupils have not had enough opportunities to revisit what they have been taught, and some do not remember what they have learned well enough. This means that some pupils are not able to build on what they already know and can do. Leaders should ensure that there are opportunities for teachers to check how well pupils have learned, and act upon this information, before moving on to new learning.
  • Some teachers are new to subject leadership. They are not yet confident in evaluating how well the curriculum is being implemented or leading improvements in the quality of education pupils receive. The headteacher should continue with her plans to provide support and training to further strengthen leadership at the school.
