What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
This is a happy school. Pupils are polite. They say that everybody feels welcome here. Leaders have created a caring culture built on strong relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils try hard to be 'ready, respectful and safe'. This is 'The Granby Way'. All staff have high expectations for what pupils can achieve. Children in the early years get off to a strong start. Teachers help them learn the skills they need to be ready for their next stage. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) receive excellent support when they need it. Leaders make sure that pupils with SEND and disadvantaged pupils enjoy the same opportunities as the other pupils. Pupils say that they feel safe in the school. Pupils know who to talk to if they are worried. They trust that teachers and other adults will resolve problems quickly. Pupils enjoy a range of trips and enrichment activities. All pupils have opportunities to go on residential trips, where they can take part in outdoor activities. The school provides a variety of clubs, including sports, musical and creative activities.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders have not fully developed systems that enable teachers to check that pupils can remember what they have learned. In these subjects, teachers check pupils' knowledge inconsistently. Leaders do not routinely adapt the curriculum to make sure that teachers address pupils' misconceptions or gaps in their knowledge. Leaders need to ensure that teachers check pupils' understanding consistently and use these checks to adapt the curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils.
- In some subjects, the learning activities do not support pupils to learn and remember important knowledge as well as they might. Not all lesson activities focus sharply enough on the important knowledge in the curriculum. Pupils do not always get opportunities to recall what they have learned before. Sometimes, pupils do not get feedback that helps them to improve their work. Leaders need to ensure that teachers plan lessons that enable all pupils to learn and remember knowledge so that they deepen their understanding over time.
