What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2022
Pupils love their school. They are enthusiastic about their lessons and learning. Pupils are proud to receive special mentions from the headteacher, such as 'star of the week' or a 'proud cloud'. Pupils want to 'do the right thing' at Denham Green. Pupils, including children in the Reception Year, feel happy and safe. Leaders regularly check in on how pupils feel. Pupils know staff are ready to listen and act on any worries. The pastoral support in the school is very strong. Leaders want the best for all pupils. Pupils learn about why being a good friend is important. They understand that they are unique, and are respectful of others. During the inspection, pupils attended an assembly about neurodiversity. They know a range of strategies to support their friends when needed. Leaders have set their behaviour expectations out clearly. Pupils follow the 'Denham Green Way' to behave in lessons and around the school. They are kind, honest and show great empathy to each other. Pupils' manners are excellent. Low-level disruption in lessons happens at times. Teachers quickly refocus pupils back to learning. Bullying is rare. Leaders investigate any incident thoroughly.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the precise content that leaders want pupils to remember is sometimes not clear enough. Teachers do not always know exactly what pupils have learned in the past, so they cannot build on what pupils know and can do. Leaders should specify, with absolute clarity, all the knowledge that is most important, in all subjects, so that teachers know exactly what pupils must learn and remember.
- Sometimes, in some foundation subjects, teachers plan lessons that do not support the intended curriculum. This means that, in those subjects, pupils are not learning as well as they could. Leaders should make sure that teachers have the training they need to teach the curriculum well.
