What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 April 2024
The school is rapidly improving since the current headteacher was appointed after it declined following the last inspection. Pupils enjoy coming to school and speak about it with pride and enthusiasm. The school wants all pupils to succeed, whatever challenges individuals may face, and they do. Pupils achieve well in reading, writing and mathematics. The focus on early reading ensures all pupils do well in phonics. In addition to revising the school curriculum, the school has made sure that the range of wider enrichment opportunities continues to be very extensive. These include rugby coaching with international players and designing a large unicorn head with a local artist for the re-enactment of the battle of Tewkesbury. All pupils are included in school performances throughout the year. Older pupils are currently rehearsing for a production of 'Shakespeare Rocks'. Pupils live up to the school motto of LIFE 'living and inspiring futures for everybody'. Their behaviour in school is exemplary and their attendance is improving strongly. Pupil governors lead by example, helping to choose and design the new playground equipment. Pupils feel safe and know how to keep themselves safe. There is always an adult to talk to.
What the school should improve
- Some subject changes to the curriculum have been recent. This means that the impact on pupils' learning is not as well established as it is in other subjects. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum enables pupils to achieve consistently well across all subjects.
- Some subject leadership is new. As a result, checks on gaps in learning or where changes to the curriculum are needed are not fully developed. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders are consistent in carrying out their roles to identify and address any curriculum improvements that are needed.
