What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils at Clore Tikva enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and well supported. They appreciate the inclusive and welcoming ethos, where interactions between pupils and staff are warm and respectful. Pupils speak about how they feel part of a strong school community, regardless of their background or faith. They know that if they have any concerns, staff will listen and help them. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Pupils are enthusiastic learners, and they achieve well across the curriculum, particularly in reading and writing. The school has developed a broad and engaging curriculum, enriched by practical experiences, such as scientific investigations and creative opportunities in art and music. Children in Nursery and Reception classes develop strong foundations in English and mathematics through a well-planned, purposeful curriculum that nurtures curiosity, independence and a love of learning. Behaviour in the school is calm and orderly. Pupils understand the school's expectations and generally meet them well. Where pupils need additional support to manage their behaviour, staff intervene and provide pupils with ways to manage their feelings. Pupils say that everyone gets on well and that staff act quickly and effectively to resolve any issues, should they arise.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, there are some variations in how effectively the curriculum is delivered. Although the school identifies and acts on curriculum areas that need further development, there are instances where the school's checks on pupils' learning are not fully effective. Consequently, gaps in pupils' knowledge or misconceptions still occur. The school should continue to embed and refine curriculum implementation, ensuring that teaching consistently reflects its agreed expectations, and leads to pupils achieving as well as they can.
