What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 November 2023

Pupils are proud to be members of the Co-op Academy Woodslee community. They told inspectors that staff help them to look after their mental, physical and emotional health. This helps pupils to become 'mighty oaks' during their time at school. Pupils feel happy and are proud to be the best that they can be in all that they do. The school and the trust have high expectations for pupils' achievement. Staff use a range of strategies to ensure that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access an ambitious curriculum. In the main, pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils behave well during lessons. There is a happy and calm feel throughout the school. Most pupils require few reminders to maintain the high standards of behaviour that staff expect of them. Pupils are keen for recognition of their positive behaviour. For example, they speak with pride about weekly headteacher awards that they receive. Extra-curricular activities, such as cheerleading, board games, theatre and multi- skills, help pupils to develop their talents and interests. They enjoy the roles of responsibility that they have, including being play leaders and members of the pupil parliament. Opportunities to take part in litter picking and to support local charities further develop pupils' understanding of their role as active citizens in their local community.

What the school should improve

  • The school has recently refined the content of some subject curriculums. These changes are relatively new and some pupils have gaps in their learning in these subjects. The school should ensure that the improvements to these curriculums support pupils to develop a strong body of knowledge.
  • In a small number of subjects, the curriculum is not being taught as intended. At times, some important content is missed. This hinders some pupils from securing the knowledge that they need for future learning. The school should ensure that staff deliver these curriculums as intended.
