What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils feel safe and happy in school and enjoy their learning. There is a strong sense of community, both within the school and beyond. The school serves its community well, offering pastoral support and care to its families and children. Parents and carers enjoy all that the school offers. One parent shared, 'The school provides a safe environment where our children can flourish'. The school is a calm and purposeful learning environment, where children achieve well. Adults care about the pupils and want the best for them. In doing so, they encourage pupils to have high aspirations for themselves and what they can achieve. Pupils take pride in their work. They settle quickly to tasks and work together with real collaboration. They are confident to ask questions and make suggestions in class. There are many clubs and trips that pupils are encouraged to be part of. One pupil said, 'No matter what you are interested in, there is something for you at Colebourne.' The school expects pupils to try hard and do the best they can. Pupils respond positively in lessons and around school. Pupils and staff know and understand the school values and bring them to life across all aspects of school.

What the school should improve

  • The school's approach to assessment is not established in all foundation subjects. This means that gaps in pupils' knowledge are not always identified. The school should ensure that assessment is used effectively so teachers are able to help pupils to learn and remember key content over time.
