What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 10 April 2024

Elmore Green is a school with a family feel where everyone is welcome. Positive relationships between staff and pupils, and amongst pupils, has created an atmosphere of togetherness. Pupils value the level of care and nurture that staff provide, which makes them feel safe and valued. Pupils are friendly, courteous and keen to attend school. They embody the school's 'ELMORE values', which include 'enjoyment' and 'respect'. Pupils display good manners and are always happy to help others. In lessons, pupils listen well and focus on their work. They enjoy working alongside their classmates and taking part in group activities. At breaktimes, pupils look forward to chatting with their friends and enjoy playing various sports, including football and tennis. The school has high expectations for all pupils and want the very best for them. School leaders, supported by governors and staff, are constantly looking for ways to improve the school even further. They are continuing to develop the curriculum, so that pupils experience an even higher quality of education. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. In particular, they appreciate the approachability of staff and the range of enrichment activities that their children experience.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school is not making effective checks on how well the curriculum is taught. In these instances, inconsistencies relating to the implementation of the curriculum remain and pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school should make effective checks on how well the curriculum is being delivered in all subjects, so that inconsistencies can be identified and appropriate support put in place.
  • The school has not ensured that the curriculum is sufficiently focused on developing pupils' knowledge and understanding of different faiths and cultures. Consequently, pupils' knowledge of these is limited. The school needs to make sure that the curriculum develops pupils' knowledge of faiths and cultures that are different to their own.
