What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 May 2024
Greengate Lane Academy is proud to serve its community. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievement. These are realised. Pupils attain well in the school's published outcomes. Pupils are happy and safe at the school. Behaviour in lessons and at breaktimes is positive. Leaders have thought carefully about what they want pupils to learn and experience. This is having a clear impact. Visits link to the curriculum and enhance pupils' understanding. The school also takes account of the locality and has adapted the curriculum accordingly. As a result, pupils learn about road safety and water safety. Pupils take on leadership roles. These include as 'go green leaders' and librarians. Through these roles, pupils learn how they can have a positive impact on others. Pupils are well-prepared to be active members of the community. They debate current global events. This develops skills such as accepting difference and considering other people's points of view. The school is committed to providing pupils with appropriate wider opportunities. The school takes on board pupils' ideas. As a result, pupils develop skills in line with their interests. There is a range of enrichment and after-school activities. These clubs include fencing and volleyball. These are inclusive and popular. They are valued by pupils.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, such as geography, the strategies adults use to support pupils to remember more are not used with precision. As a result, some pupils do not build or develop their knowledge as effectively as they could. The school should ensure that strategies to help pupils remember and apply their learning are used consistently across all subjects.
- Sometimes, writing activities in the early years are not closely aligned to the children's learning needs. This means that, at times, children do not learn as much as they could. The school should ensure that writing activities match what the children need to learn next.
