What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
The vast majority of pupils are happy to attend Fullhurst Community College. They show positive attitudes to learning. Pupils understand the school values: respect, kindness, determination and unity. These values underpin the strong relationships pupils have with staff and each other. Pupils respect diversity. Pupils feel safe in the school. They know who they can talk to if they need help and trust staff to resolve issues quickly. Pupils value the support the school gives them to maintain good mental health and well-being. The dedicated staff at the school have worked hard to create an inclusive culture. They are ambitious for all pupils. This includes those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils have opportunities to achieve their aspirations. Pupils with complex needs in the specially resourced provision for pupils with SEND (specially resourced provision) receive excellent support from well-trained staff. Through 'The Fullhurst Pledge', the school provides all pupils with a range of enrichment activities. These include opportunities to experience the arts and a variety of trips and visits. Pupils take part in community and charity activities. The school prepares pupils well for their next steps in education and future careers.
What the school should improve
- The PSHE curriculum is not yet fully embedded. Pupils do not have a deep enough understanding of some important themes such as British values and protected characteristics. The school needs to make sure that all pupils gain the knowledge they need to be well prepared for their lives in modern Britain.
- Not all staff consistently apply the school's behaviour policy. Some incidents of poor behaviour are not addressed effectively. Pupils are not always clear about what the routines are that they need to follow. The school needs to ensure that behaviour is managed consistently well so that all pupils learn to follow routines and disruptions to learning are minimised.
