What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 4 October 2023

Endon High School is inclusive, warm and welcoming. The school is relentless in supporting pupils to be the best they can be. There are high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils welcome the wide range of subjects on offer. There is very effective support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The values of curiosity, determination and kindness underpin the school's culture. These values ensure that all pupils achieve well academically and are well-rounded individuals ready to face the future with confidence. Pupils treat each other with respect. Staff care about all pupils and strive to live by the school's motto of 'There is more in you'. Behaviour in classrooms is calm and orderly. Pupils display positive attitudes towards their learning. Low-level disruption in lessons is rare. At times, a small minority of pupils do not always meet leaders' high expectations of behaviour in social time. The way in which the school prepares pupils for life in modern Britain is exemplary. The exceptional personal development programme provides pupils with important information, including on healthy relationships, being tolerant and respectful, and keeping themselves safe. Many pupils take on a wide range of roles, such as mentors, reading buddies and mental health ambassadors.

What the school should improve

  • At times, teachers do not adapt learning to meet the individual needs of pupils as well as they could. This means that some of these pupils do not have a consistent learning experience to enable them to be as successful as they could be. The school should ensure that the individual learning needs of all pupils are consistently met so that they make the progress of which they are capable.
  • The school's expectations of behaviour are not consistently met by pupils at social times. A small minority of pupils behave inappropriately. Leaders should ensure that their high expectations of behaviour outside lessons are clearly understood by all pupils.
