What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 February 2025

Surrey Street is a school at the heart of its community. It is a school where pupils and their families are supported and are supportive of each other. When needs are identified, the school engages effectively with their pupils and families to offer help. For example, when many families arrived at the school, the whole school community engaged to support them by providing toys, clothes and food to welcome them. Pupils are happy, safe and proud to be part of this school. They live by their school rules, which encourage them to be safe, be kind and be positive. The school ensure all pupils are fully included into school life. It offers equal opportunities for all pupils, regardless of their needs and backgrounds. Staff have high expectations. Pupils respond positively to these. They behave well in lessons and during social times. They show respect to adults and, consequently, relationships are strong. When rare incidents of bullying occur, pupils know they will be dealt with appropriately. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. As a result, there are few disruptions to lessons or other activities at school. The school has ensured its curriculum is ambitious. Many pupils achieve well from their various starting points.

What the school should improve

  • In a minority of foundation subjects, leaders have not refined the curriculum, so that it precisely identifies the knowledge and skills pupils should learn. This means, in these subjects, teachers do not always teach pupils the important knowledge they need. Leaders should continue to improve the curriculum in these subjects, to help all pupils learn important knowledge and achieve well.
  • The school provides few opportunities, other than in lessons, for pupils to develop their interests and talents. This limits how well the school promotes some aspects of pupils' wider personal development. The school should ensure that pupils have access to a range of appropriate and pertinent personal development opportunities.
