What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils enjoy attending Colton Hills. They experience an inclusive, welcoming and aspirational environment in school. Pupils know that it is okay to be different, and they get on with each other well. They often reflect the 'PRIDE' values of participation, respect, integrity, diversity and excellence. The school community takes opportunities to celebrate its diversity often. Pupils know that teachers teach them well and want the best for them. There are positive relationships between staff and pupils. Pupils behave well at social times and when moving around school. They are polite and respectful towards each other and to staff. Staff share a strong focus on removing any barriers that pupils may have. This particularly focuses on giving pupils a rich cultural experience. Trips, careers encounters and Wednesday afternoon enrichment contribute well to pupils' development. Sixth-form students are active in the life of school in various ways. Pupils of all ages are involved with numerous councils and unions. Pupils say there are many opportunities to take part in extra-curricular activities. These take place both before and after the normal school day. Opportunities include the Combined Cadet Force, science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) clubs and various sports, including swimming.
What the school should improve
- Plans for the needs of some pupils with SEND do not have enough detail or personalisation. As a result, pupils do not receive sufficient support to enable them to access the curriculum successfully. The school should ensure that these plans are detailed and are implemented effectively.
- A small number of pupils in the early stages of reading are not receiving the support they need. This means they are not able to catch up with their peers and fully access the curriculum. The school needs to ensure a rigorous approach to identification of those who need support with phonics and fluency so they catch up quickly.
