What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 October 2022
This is a school which is truly at the heart of its community. Pupils talk about the 'Gateway Way' and how this helps them to enjoy school, be happy and stay safe. Pupils display impeccable behaviour and rise to the very high expectations set by their teachers. Pupils know that bullying is not tolerated. Leaders deal with all incidents promptly and efficiently. Pupils said this helps them to feel confident in school. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities they have to learn about the world around them. For example, they enjoy spending time in the quiet garden and the eco-classroom where they grow plants, herbs and vegetables. Pupils achieve well in their learning. Everyone is focused on preparing each pupil for the next stage in their education. Partnerships with parents and carers as well as the wider community make a strong contribution to pupils' learning. Leaders provide a wide range of well-thought-out links with organisations to broaden pupils' experiences. For example, pupils get to work with West End theatres, national charities and local community groups. Pupils are proud ambassadors of their school. They enjoy representing Gateway at competitions and events, such as in football matches at Regent's Park. Pupils work together in their team 'houses'. This encourages older pupils to act as excellent role models to others during special occasions, including poetry slams and sports events.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have worked hard to develop a curriculum which is ambitious. However, in some of the foundation subjects, what pupils need to learn is not coherently planned. This leads to some inconsistencies in how well these subjects are delivered. Sometimes, checks on pupils' understanding in some of the foundation subjects do not focus on the subject content that pupils know and remember. Leaders should ensure that the foundation subjects are all planned coherently. They should ensure that pupils build up their knowledge securely in these subjects as they move through the school. Leaders should ensure that teachers' checks in these subjects focus on what pupils know and remember.
