What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 September 2023
Crumpsall Lane is a friendly school where pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are encouraged to succeed. Pupils are happy learning and playing together with their friends. Pupils who join the school other than at the usual times, including those from other countries, are warmly welcomed. They settle in quickly because they are well supported. All are valued members of the community. Pupils benefit from the caring relationships that staff forge with them. Many pupils spoke of the kindness and patience of staff. They know that they are treated fairly. Pupils have every confidence that staff will resolve any problems swiftly. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils make every effort to meet the school's high expectations for their achievement and behaviour. Pupils are polite and are willing to work hard. They take a keen interest in their learning and achieve well in many subjects. Pupils value the many clubs they can attend to nurture their interests. They also enjoy the trips that they go on to enrich their learning. Pupils learn that they can make a positive difference by collecting donations for charities. They spoke with excitement about helping to serve elderly residents at social 'lunch and linger' events at a local church.
What the school should improve
- In one or two subjects, teachers lack guidance on how to deliver the curriculums effectively. This hinders pupils' achievement in these subjects. The school should ensure that curriculum expectations are clear and that teachers are trained to deliver these curriculums effectively. This should ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to practise their basic skills and apply their knowledge with increased confidence and independence.
- On occasion, teachers do not ensure that pupils know the meaning of unfamiliar vocabulary. This makes it difficult for pupils to make sense of some spoken and written language. The school should ensure that teachers support pupils effectively to make meaning of more challenging vocabulary across subjects, including when reading.
