What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 May 2023
The first of Crossley Hall's school values is inclusion. This is apparent in every aspect of the school's work. Pupils with a wide range of special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are warmly welcomed. Even in the liveliest, competitive games at breaktimes, boisterous pupils take care to weave around pupils who are using walking frames or wheelchairs to avoid hurting anyone. 'The Vines' is a specially resourced provision for pupils with communication and interaction difficulties. Some of these pupils attend lessons and activities in the main school. Pupils join in naturally when lessons are suitable. Pupils work and play well together so that everyone feels happy and safe. Leaders identified that pupils' behaviour needed to improve. Some pupils struggled to settle back down into classroom routines when they returned to school after the COVID- 19 restrictions. Leaders reminded pupils of their high expectations for behaviour. Pupils' behaviour improved quickly. Bullying is extremely rare now. However, a few parents and carers are not convinced of this. Staff have equally high expectations of pupils' learning. This includes the youngest children. Pupils in all key stages achieve well. Pupils remember what they have learned about different faith traditions. This is preparing pupils well for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly. The rate of persistent absence is too high. This means that too many pupils miss out on their learning. Leaders should continue to work with parents to improve pupils' attendance.
- A few parents are dissatisfied with leaders' response to complaints that they raise, or concerns that they share about pupils' learning or behaviour. These parents are concerned that the issues they raise are not resolved. Leaders should engage stakeholders to ensure that all parents have confidence that their complaints or concerns will be handled well and issues are addressed and resolved.
