What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They have excellent attendance. They like their lessons, their caring teachers and the broad range of subjects that they learn. Almost all pupils participate in the wide range of after-school clubs and enriching trips. The school is welcoming for all pupils. There is bespoke, individualised care in place for pupils who need support. The school is proud of the work it is doing to encourage pupils to demonstrate their school values of being considerate, ambitious and proud through 'The Codsall Way'. Pupils enthusiastically take up opportunities to be student leaders and participate in community activities, such as the food bank collections. The school is ambitious for every pupil. The curriculum has been carefully structured to ensure pupils build their skills and knowledge over time. Pupils participate fully in lessons and make good attempts at written and practical work. Pupils achieve well. The school's expectations and clear routines have led to a calm and orderly environment with a positive atmosphere for learning. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to their teachers and their peers. At breaktime and lunchtime, pupils move sensibly around busy corridors and play well together in the playground. Pupils feel safe in school.
What the school should improve
- Pupils do not consistently receive clear guidance to help them to address errors and misconceptions in their work. Consequently, misconceptions and gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always closed before the learning moves on. This hinders the progress that pupils make. The school should ensure that staff routinely check on pupils' learning and adapt their teaching appropriately to ensure any gaps or misconceptions in pupils' understanding are quickly resolved.
- The careers education programme does not provide pupils with the information they need to ensure they are ready for their next phase of education, training or employment. This leaves pupils unsure about the range of opportunities available to them. The school should ensure pupils receive timely guidance to support them in making decisions about their futures.
