What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Colne Engaine is a warm and welcoming school at the heart of the local community. Pupils are very happy and enjoy coming to school. They play harmoniously together at breaktimes and lunchtime. They enjoy the range of games and activities staff carefully choose to have on offer. Older pupils like to set up games for younger pupils to play. The school dining hall is a pleasurable place for pupils to eat and chat with their friends. Pupils behave well during lessons and are quick to settle to work. They work hard to achieve the very best they can. Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve. This motivates pupils to do well. Pupils listen attentively to adults. They also listen to each other and respect the different views and opinions they each hold. The school's ethos is guided by the carefully chosen 'ERICER' values that underpin everything that happens. Pupils understand what each of empathy, responsibility, integrity, compassion, equality and respect means. They care deeply about why it is important to live by these values and seek to show them in everything they do at school.
What the school should improve
- There are some inconsistencies in the teaching of the reading curriculum. This means that, while pupils achieve well, they do not always secure as deep an understanding of reading as leaders would like. Leaders must continue to monitor and provide the ongoing training and support staff need to ensure that pupils secure the deep understanding of reading that leaders expect them to.
