What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 November 2022
Edmund de Moundeford is a lively, happy school. Pupils are eager to come to school each day. They feel safe and can approach any member of staff to share any worries, including about bullying. They know that the adults who care for them will resolve problems swiftly. Pupils say that staff help them do their best work. They enjoy a wide range of opportunities, for example in sport and music. They learn about the world outside of their own, often taking trips to local sites of interest. Through the curriculum, they learn to respect the views of others, even if they are different from their own. From the start of the reception class children learn to care for one another. There is a calm, purposeful atmosphere in classrooms and corridors. Pupils enjoy their learning and behave well in lessons. At social times, they play happily together. Pupils enjoy learning the ambitious curriculum. Children leave the early years as confident learners, well prepared for Year 1. The school teaches a wide range of different subjects. Teachers have suitably high expectations of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils learn well and feel well prepared for secondary school.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, the books pupils read do not include the sounds they have learned and need to remember. This means that some pupils do not become proficient readers quickly enough. Leaders should make sure that pupils, particularly those who struggle the most with reading, get books which match their reading knowledge closely, so they develop fluency and confidence as early as possible.
- In a small number of subjects, teachers do not receive the clarity, guidance and support that they need to deliver the curriculums effectively. Consequently, in these subjects, pupils do not achieve as well as they should. Leaders should ensure that in these curriculum areas, subject leaders develop their curriculum thinking and expertise. This will enable them to provide subject-specific guidance for teachers in the effective delivery of the curriculum, so that pupils achieve well.
