What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy their learning at Clive CofE, the school 'at the top of the hill'. They behave well in lessons and respond positively to adults' high expectations of what they should achieve. This applies to all pupils, including those who have special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils feel safe at school. The overwhelming majority of parents and carers agree that they are. Pupils are confident to tell a trusted adult if they have a problem. They know that they will be listened to and supported. A wide range of experiences are available for pupils to enjoy that enrich their personal development. There are strong links with the church and local community. For example, pupils enjoy participating in 'woodland school' in the adjacent grounds. There are various clubs on offer, which pupils take a lead in selecting and organising. Pupils enjoy the role of 'worship councillors' and feel a sense of pride in their contribution to this aspect of daily life. Educational visits and workshops provide pupils with a valuable insight into the wider world beyond their locality, for example visits to a Gurdwara.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school has not established secure approaches to assessing pupils' learning. Consequently, errors and misconceptions in learning are not identified and addressed quickly. This means that pupils do not learn the curriculum as well as they might. The school should develop more effective approaches to developing staff expertise in their use of assessment.
- The school has not yet established a consistent approach to how pupils learn mathematics across the school. The subject is undergoing a transition to how it is delivered across all key stages. This means that not all children experience the same level of curriculum ambition and pupils do not explain their mathematics as well as they might. The school should ensure that it has a consistent strategy to implement mathematics across all key stages.
