What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 June 2024
Each pupil has their own special place in the 'Fox Hill family' and is valued for their strengths and individual personalities. Pupils actively champion the school values, which are reflected in leadership roles such as in the eco and reading councils, and as sports leaders and values ambassadors. Pupils engage in community and environmental projects such as gardening and visiting local care homes to read to senior citizens. Every pupil has an opportunity to take on a leadership role and they talk with confidence about the improvements they have introduced during their time at the school. Pupils behave respectfully and calmly around the school. They concentrate well in lessons and keep trying when work is challenging. They play kindly together at social times. Younger pupils look forward to playground games organised by the older sports leaders. The school is ambitious for every pupil, determined they will achieve as well as they possibly can. Adults know pupils well. They recognise pupil's needs and make sure every pupil is provided with the right pastoral and academic support. Pupils achieve well and are rightly proud of their learning. As one parent commented: 'The school is fantastic and really supports each child as an individual'.
What the school should improve
- In some areas of the wider curriculum, leaders do not have a clear enough understanding of what pupils know and can remember. Consequently, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and so struggle to connect new learning with larger ideas. The school should ensure that its ongoing work to develop assessment enables staff to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge consistently well across the whole curriculum.
