What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 27 February 2024
There is a strong sense of belonging at Fieldhead Carr. The school provides a calm, caring and supportive learning environment for its pupils. Leaders are passionate that all pupils will achieve well. Pupils learn the life skills that they need. These skills enable pupils to thrive in the local and wider community. This is at the forefront of everything that the school does. The school has redeveloped its systems for behaviour. Leaders have worked with staff, parents and children to ensure high expectations are the norm. Pupils behave well around school and at unstructured times. When incidents do occur, pupils are helped to resolve any disagreements. Pupils and parents trust the school to help them to sort things out in the right way. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils are cared for attentively by staff, which means they feel valued and safe. Each week, every adult in school meets with a group of pupils. This forms part of a coaching session where pupils are encouraged to talk about their thoughts and feelings. As a result, nurturing relationships run throughout the school and across age groups.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not use questions effectively to check pupils' understanding or address misconceptions. Gaps in pupils' learning are not addressed and pupils' focus is not always maintained. The school should support all teachers to ensure effective questioning supports pupils' understanding and that gaps in learning are addressed.
- In a small number of subjects, work in lessons and checks on what pupils have learned are not precise enough. In these subjects, pupils do not learn the curriculum leaders intend. This results in some gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that staff emphasise the most important content across all subjects and make checks to ensure that the planned curriculum is being taught.
