What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils, including children in the early years, thrive at Fletewood School. Through the curriculum, they develop very effective social skills which help them to form strong, healthy friendships. Kind and caring staff provide a nurturing environment in which pupils learn with confidence and success. Pupils develop exceptional knowledge and understanding about citizenship. For example, the school council plans events such as the Easter fair to raise funds for those in need. Pupils have a breadth of opportunities to volunteer, support and engage with the wider community. For example, pupils sing in residential homes, support the restoration of the local park and pick litter in the local community. Most pupils participate in clubs such as the craft and friendship clubs. Children in early years flourish through a well-structured curriculum that supports their language learning very well. Children learn to take turns and share. Pupils, including children in early years, feel safe in school and are well supported. They have strong relationships with staff and know that they can share any concerns they may have. Pupils state that there is no bullying and that other pupils are kind and helpful.
What the school should improve
- Pupils with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) do not receive the precise support they require to learn well. As a result, pupils struggle to learn the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that all staff are well trained and have the depth of knowledge to meet the needs of such pupils so that they learn with confidence and success.
- The developmental needs and interests of 2 year old children are not yet fully embedded in the early years curriculum. Leaders acknowledge that this is an area of development for the early years setting. The school should continue with its work to embed the curriculum for 2 year old children.
