What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 15 October 2024

Pupils are proud ambassadors of their school. The school's mission statement permeates everything that they do. Pupils play and learn happily together as they prepare for life beyond school. They benefit from warm and supportive relationships in lessons and at breaktimes. Pupils are taught to make a positive contribution through their roles as representatives on the school council and as playground leaders. They demonstrate compassion when supporting good causes within and beyond their school community. For example, pupils organised donations to a foodbank during harvest. Pupils also discover new skills and talents such as chess and gardening. They enjoy representing their school in a range of sporting activities. Pupils are supported to understand their own and others' feelings and emotions. They are incredibly kind to each other. They strive to live up to the school's high expectations of their behaviour. Pupils are proud to follow the 'Green Park Way.' They strive to earn the much coveted 'values champion' awards that they receive for their positive attitudes to school life. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), access an ambitious curriculum. They achieve well across a range of subjects.

What the school should improve

  • At times, staff do not identify the spelling, punctuation, and handwriting errors that pupils make when they write independently. This means that some pupils continue to make the same errors over time. The school should ensure that staff identify and address these errors so that pupils are supported to develop their writing accuracy and expertise across the curriculum.
  • In some subjects, the checks that staff make on pupils' understanding are not clearly focused on the key knowledge that pupils need to know to support their future learning. This leads to gaps in some pupils' understanding and prevents them from learning all that they could. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' understanding in these subjects are focused on the most important information that they will need to secure future learning.
