What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Greystoke is a happy and welcoming school. Pupils say that their school is special because everyone respects each other and is kind. Pupils have compassion for others. They learn about global events and organise fundraising activities to help others. They learn about the work of the Red Cross and other international organisations. Pupils learn about environmental concerns and sustainability. The school's 'ministry of the future' is working to develop biodiversity in the school grounds. Pupils say that they are safe in school. There are always adults whom they can talk to. They use the school's 'worry boxes' to pass on concerns. Pupils say that staff always help them to sort out any problems. Incidents of bullying are rare. When these do happen, pupils say that teachers sort things out. Teachers want pupils to learn and do well. The school's new curriculum is designed to prepare pupils for life in the 21st century. The 'big ideas' curriculum helps pupils to connect their knowledge across subjects. Leaders choose reading books carefully to match the curriculum and to reflect the local area, the United Kingdom, the world and beyond. Some aspects of the implementation of the school's curriculum need further refinement.
What the school should improve
- Occasionally, in some foundation subjects, activities that teachers ask pupils to complete do not match what the curriculum states they should learn. The ambition for what pupils should know is not always high enough. This slows down pupils' learning and progress. Leaders must ensure that staff are clear and precise about what they want pupils to know. They should ensure that activities are ambitious and help pupils develop their subject knowledge.
- In early years, the tasks that children are required to complete do not always match the curriculum. Staff are not always clear about how planned activities will develop children's knowledge. This hinders the progress that some children make in readiness for Year 1. Leaders must make sure that the activities planned for children match what they want them to learn, and that staff use their knowledge of the curriculum to deepen and develop children's knowledge.
