What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 February 2022
Pupils at Gresham Village School enjoy their learning. They find the curriculum interesting. They are keen to learn and contribute to class discussions. They are proud of what they know and can do, because of how the teachers have helped them in class. They say, 'Teachers are friendly and will always help you.' Pupils feel safe and well cared for at this school. Pupils understand how to keep themselves safe both at school and when online. Bullying is rare, and if it does happen, adults take swift action. Pupils are well behaved and polite. Classroom routines help pupils to concentrate and make the most of their lessons. Pupils know the school's values. They understand how these values can help them to get along with one another. Pupils can develop their cooperation skills through taking on jobs and roles in school. For example, they can become a librarian or serve on the school council. They have different opportunities to develop their interests and talents, such as through taking part in competitions with other schools. Pupils like receiving 'rainbow awards' in assemblies. They also enjoy learning from visitors to the school.
What the school should improve
- Assessment of the curriculum beyond mathematics and English is at an earlier stage of development. This means that leaders do not have as much information about the impact of the curriculum as they ought to. Leaders should develop their assessment of the wider curriculum so that they have a greater understanding of what pupils remember.
- In some subject curriculum plans and for some year groups, there is less detail in terms of content and sequencing of content. In these subjects, essential content has been identified and sequenced, but there is not enough detail identified, particularly for younger year groups and for vocabulary to be learned. Leaders do not have as much assurance that pupils are being given the best foundations for learning in subjects such as art and history. For this reason, the transition arrangement has been applied. Leaders should continue to refine the curriculum by identifying more precisely the content and vocabulary for pupils to learn.
