What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Staff have high expectations of all pupils at Dilton Marsh. Pupils respond positively to these expectations by behaving well and working hard. They leave Dilton Marsh ready for secondary school. Pupils benefit from trusting relationships with adults. They are confident that staff will listen to any worries they may have. This helps them to feel safe. Pupils know the school values of 'hope, respect, compassion and perseverance' well. These values guide how pupils should behave. As a result, pupils are highly engaged in their learning. There is something for everyone to enjoy at social times. Pupils are particularly enthusiastic about the 'daily mile', which promotes regular physical activity. Pupils develop character by taking on leadership roles, such as sports ambassadors and eco-councillors. These pupils act as role models and take their responsibilities seriously, such as by monitoring the school's energy use. Pupils appreciate having a say in which charities to raise money for. They feel strongly about supporting those less fortunate than themselves. Pupils experience learning beyond the classroom through visits to landmarks, including the Houses of Parliament when learning about the features of government. They participate in opportunities to develop their talents, for example in dance and choir clubs.
What the school should improve
- In a minority of wider curriculum subjects, the trust has not identified the most important knowledge pupils need to learn. Because of this, some pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The trust must carefully plan the precise knowledge it wants pupils to know so that pupils can build on their prior knowledge and remember their learning over time.
- A few pupils do not have regular opportunities to apply their knowledge of mathematics to problem-solving tasks. This means these pupils do not develop the depth of knowledge they need to in mathematics. The trust should ensure that all pupils learn how to apply their learning regularly in problem-solving tasks.
