What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils value their time at Godmanchester Community Academy. Pupils' school experience is positive. Everyone gets along well. There are rarely any issues with poor behaviour. Pupils consistently follow the 'GCA way' across the school, demonstrating high standards of behaviour, attitudes and respect towards each other and to adults. Pupils have their 'network' of trusted adults who sort out any problems that might happen. Bullying is not an issue and is taken very seriously if it occurs. Pupils enjoy the challenge of their studies. They listen to each other and take turns. Children in early years learn routines and grow their independence. Outside of lessons, older pupils look out for younger children. Some pupils are 'peer mediators' and so help others to solve any disagreement. Pupils appreciate and attend the growing number of interesting clubs that are on offer, such as multi-sports or cross-stitch. Pupils take on responsibilities, such as eco-monitors or junior travel ambassadors, to help with safe ways to travel or to improve the school environment. Visitors and trips enrich the school curriculum. Pupils meet people from different backgrounds or cultures and so learn about, for example, a range of religions and perspectives on life.
What the school should improve
- Some activities are not consistently well matched to the intended learning, including in the context of a few of the activities suggested in the new curriculum booklets. This means that, occasionally, when staff select these, pupils do not learn as much as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff have the training and support needed so that they routinely match activities to help pupils learn effectively. Leaders should then check that this happens systematically, so that the curriculum is implemented well in all aspects.
