What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 December 2023
Pupils flourish in this happy, safe, supportive environment. They benefit from having such a caring and committed staff team around them. Pupils know there is always help at hand if they have any worries. Pupils are proud of their inclusive school. They told inspectors: 'One of our prayers is about treating everyone as you want to be treated. Everyone is treated the same here.' The values of faith, forgiveness, friendship, love, respect, thankfulness and trust permeate all aspects of school life. These qualities can be seen and heard in the way pupils and staff interact with each other. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. Attitudes to learning are extremely positive. Pupils meet the high standards expected of them at all times of the day and in all areas of the school. Pupils learn to be resilient at Hackleton. For instance, they persevere with tricky problems in mathematics. As well as an ambitious curriculum, the school provides many opportunities to develop pupils' talents and interests. Along with theatre trips and orchestral experiences, all pupils learn to play several instruments. Pupils look forward to representing Hackleton in sports teams, singing in a mass choir and taking part in ballroom dancing competitions.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, some of the checks the school makes on pupils' progress do not identify clearly enough the content that pupils have found more difficult. This means that subsequent teaching does not aways specifically address these gaps in learning. As a result, some pupils do not gain the secure understanding of the curriculum that the school intends. The school must review its approach to assessment and monitoring so that pupils acquire the knowledge and skills set out in its foundation subject curriculum.
- Occasionally, staff do not adapt lessons well enough to fully meet the needs of pupils with SEND. In a small number of cases, the support documents for pupils with SEND are not as specific as they could be. The school must ensure that all pupils with SEND consistently receive support that is well matched to their individual needs so they can achieve highly in all areas of the curriculum.
