What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 24 October 2023

Coopers Edge is a happy and welcoming school. Staff are aspirational for pupils. They promote the school's motto of supporting each other to achieve more tomorrow than today. Pupils feel safe and form positive relationships with staff. As a result, pupils enjoy school and flourish in this nurturing environment. Most parents and carers agree that their child benefits from the range of opportunities on offer. They are positive about how the school communicates with them to share news and pupils' achievements. The school promotes a positive and respectful culture. Staff use the behaviour tree to model their high expectations. Pupils, in turn, focus well on their learning. Children in the early years quickly learn the expected routines of the classroom. Pupils participate in a range of extra-curricular activities, such as the young voices choir, cheerleading and a board games club. They are supported to develop their cookery skills in the pupil kitchen. Most pupils in Year 6 become members of the pupil parliament. They learn about democracy and take on roles to develop their leadership skills. For example, pupils act as the treasurer to raise money for the school, or the environment champion, who encourages pupils and staff to make sustainable choices.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, teachers do not use assessment to check what pupils know and remember in the long term. As a result, teaching does not remedy gaps in pupils' knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure that assessment is used to identify what pupils know and remember and that it then informs subsequent curriculum planning and teaching.
  • The school does not have a clear oversight of patterns of behaviour across the school. This means that it is not able to identify whether there are emerging trends that need to be considered in future planning. The school should consider how it can better evaluate incidents and patterns of behaviour.
