What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
Pupils look forward to learning at Grange Community Junior School. They trust the staff and know who to speak to if they have a concern. Relationships between staff and pupils are respectful and warm. This makes pupils feel safe. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well. Published outcomes demonstrate that these expectations are being met. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. They are polite and respectful to each other and to staff. Pupils follow instructions and have positive attitudes to their learning. Pupils understand the school's behaviour system and know why they need to follow it. They care for each other and celebrate their differences. Pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities outside of lessons. They visit local places of interest as part of their curriculum. They also get to experience a variety of museums and an overnight residential. Pupils take part in extra-curricular clubs and societies in school, which broaden their experiences. These include junior dukes, watercolour painting and the eco-society. Pupils also thrive in leadership roles, including playmakers and members of the school council.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, teachers' checks on pupils' learning are not as effective as they could be. This means that teachers do not always identify whether the knowledge pupils have acquired is secure. The school needs to ensure that pupils' understanding is checked consistently, so they can build on and connect their knowledge over time.
