What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 2 July 2024

Coney Hill is an inclusive school which cares deeply for its pupils. It provides a calm and nurturing environment. The school motto, '#ProudtobeaHiller' shines through in pupils and adults alike. Pupils enjoy school and attend regularly. Many pupils face challenges with their learning. However, the school is ambitious for every pupil to experience success. Pupils learn how to be resilient and strive to be the best they can be. Pupils behave exceptionally well during lessons and social times. They demonstrate high levels of respect and kindness towards one another. They understand the consequences of poor behaviour. The provision for pupils' wider personal development is impressive. They value the rich and varied opportunities available. These help to develop their skills and interests in many areas such as music and sports. Pupils speak positively about the leadership roles and responsibilities they can take on, such as school councillors and digital leaders. They undertake these roles with pride. The welfare of pupils and their families is at the heart of Coney Hill. The school offers exceptional pastoral support and strives to ensure pupils are safe, happy and receive the right support. They enjoy warm relationships with staff and develop a strong sense of belonging.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils are not able to remember the key knowledge across the subjects they study. This can hinder the depth of their learning. The school must ensure that the implementation of the curriculum enables pupils to secure their knowledge more deeply.
