What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
There is a real sense of togetherness at Elizabeth Woodville. Leaders, staff and governors work as one in their pursuit of excellence. They share an ambitious vision for what they want pupils to accomplish and experience. Leaders have ensured that all aspects of school life build towards the achievement of these aims. Leaders have created an atmosphere where pupils can thrive. Pupils feel happy and secure. They feel valued. They can be themselves in this caring environment. One pupil, typical of many, said, 'All the children and teachers here are really nice. If you have a problem, everyone will make you feel better.' The behaviour of pupils at Elizabeth Woodville is exemplary. They are enthusiastic about learning and eager to contribute to lessons. Classrooms are calm places where pupils can be successful and reap the benefits of working in pairs and groups. Pupils treat each other with respect and kindness. They enjoy spending time together. Pupils play nicely on the playground. They do not say that bullying is a problem at their school. Parents and carers are incredibly positive about the school. They recognise the hard work of the staff, and the high level of care and support provided for their children.
What the school should improve
- In some of the foundation subjects, it is not clear how pupils will develop their knowledge of important concepts. This means that pupils do not systematically add to their understanding of some of the key themes and ideas that run through subjects. Leaders must refine their curriculum thinking so that teachers deliberately build pupils' knowledge of key concepts, deepening their understanding over time.
