What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
The school wants the very best for pupils. There are a significant number of pupils, joining the school throughout the year, who speak English as an additional language (EAL). There is a rigorous process to support these pupils to learn the essential words and phrases that allow them to function independently. Pupils at Co-op Academy Woodlands are keen, interested and inquisitive. They enjoy being active learners. The school uses its 'character' curriculum to teach pupils what good behaviour looks like. This curriculum enables pupils to practise meeting the school's expectations, such as walking in a line in the corridor and using a knife and fork correctly. Pupils are motivated to earn the school's RESPECT badges. Leaders award badges for fulfilling specific criteria, such as reading every day or returning their homework weekly. Pupils wear their badges with pride. There are many different ethnicities and cultures at the school. Pupils have a healthy appreciation of diversity and equality. A pupil captured the essence of diversity, saying, 'The world would be a dull place if everyone was the same.'
What the school should improve
- While the reviewed wider curriculum is in place, opportunities to check its implementation have been limited. This hampers the school's ability to evaluate its effectiveness. The school should ensure that monitoring systems support subject leaders to check and develop the implementation and impact of their subjects.
- In some subjects, the level of key knowledge included in curriculum plans is too extensive. This means that pupils do not remember the important facts consistently. The school should refine the knowledge that pupils must learn in each subject to ensure that pupils know more and remember more and are ready to access future learning confidently.
