What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
The pupils and their families are at the heart of this highly inclusive school. Everyone is a valued part of the 'Fourfields Family'. Pupils enjoy the chance to 'shine' in a variety of ways. Pupils find joy in learning. Staff manage behaviour in a consistent way. Pupils know these expectations. They behave well. Learning proceeds without disruption at this school. Pupils' social and emotional needs are met in a variety of ways. Where pupils need bespoke support, they receive this. This means all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), feel a valued part of this strong school community. Playtimes are a hive of activity for pupils. They enjoy playing together. Pupils access a wide range of carefully planned activities. Pupils perform on their own stage. Others choose to create dens in the rich outdoor environment. These activities support children to gain confidence and take risk in their play. Pupils access a rich range of wider opportunities. They develop leadership skills through different roles and responsibilities such as reading ambassadors. Residential trips offer pupils new experiences. All pupils have equal access to these. They develop confidence and independence from these opportunities.
What the school should improve
- The school does not assess pupils' learning in a consistent way across some subjects. This means teachers do not always recognise how well pupils are learning the school curriculum. The school needs to develop an agreed assessment system that ensures pupils' progress is assessed accurately across all subjects. This will mean all pupils progress successfully through the school's planned curriculum.
