What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 October 2022
Coads Green is a happy and thriving school. Leaders have created a warm and welcoming environment. They ensure that staff know pupils well. Pupils and staff are proud to be part of the school. Pupils value the interesting and varied curriculum, such as learning the Cornish language. Consequently, they enjoy attending school. Staff have high expectations of pupils. They expect pupils to do their best. Pupils respond to this positively. As a result, their behaviour is exemplary, both in lessons and at social times. Pupils say that bullying is rare. They say people are kind to each other. They are confident that staff will resolve any issues that occur. Leaders have devised a carefully considered personal development curriculum. This is the foundation for much of the school's work. Leaders place a strong emphasis on developing pupils' character. For example, pupils learn about resilience and perseverance through trips and residentials. They understand the importance of teamwork through participating in sports tournaments. Parents speak highly of the school. They appreciate the way staff care for pupils. One comment, typical of many, said, 'The staff make my child feel safe, happy and valued.'
What the school should improve
- Curriculum thinking in some subjects is not as precise as it could be in identifying how the early years prepares pupils for Year 1. As a result, there are missed opportunities for children to learn even more. Leaders need to ensure they sharpen curriculum thinking for all subjects in the early years in order to prepare pupils fully for Year 1.
- While the mathematics curriculum overall enables pupils to do well in mathematics, teaching does not always promote consistent use of mathematical vocabulary. This limits pupils' ability to deepen their knowledge further. Leaders need to ensure that mathematical vocabulary is consistently used and promoted so that pupils can tackle more complex problems.
