What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils are proud of their school. They welcome visitors with happy, smiling faces. Parents typically describe the school as being like a family. They enthusiastically talk about how their child quickly settled into school life. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. Pupils meet these expectations by working hard and behaving well. Pupils enjoy their learning. However, some pupils do not attend school on time or often enough. Pupils have warm, respectful relationships with staff and are caring towards each other. Many pupils thrive in this inclusive and nurturing environment. Pupils are happy and safe. If unkind or unacceptable behaviour happens, pupils trust adults to solve this. The Fibbersley passport travels alongside pupils during their time in school. Whether this be visiting the space centre or making pizza, there are lots of experiences to enjoy. Pupils value listening to each other over the school radio, celebrating events and being 'stars of the week'. Pupils attend a wide range of clubs, including sports, multimedia and food technology. They learn to play musical instruments such as the guitar and recorder. Pupils talk enthusiastically about visits linked to their learning and how these prepare them for life in modern Britain.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, pupils do not learn effectively because teachers do not address misconceptions swiftly. Where this is the case, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should make sure that all teachers have the support and training they need so that activities help pupils make better progress.
- Activities for some pupils with SEND are not well matched to their needs. As a result, some pupils with SEND are unable to catch up quickly and work alongside their peers. Leaders should make sure that teachers provide activities for pupils with SEND which enable pupils to build on what they already know.
- Many pupils' attendance remains too low. These pupils do not achieve as well as they could or access the wider opportunities on offer. Leaders need to continue to build on their work with families so that families understand the importance of pupils attending well.
