What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2022
Hadley Learning Community (HLC) - Primary Phase is a warm and friendly place where pupils enjoy coming to school and love to learn. Leaders have skilfully created a family feel to the school where everyone is important. This includes parents and the wider community. Parents appreciate this and value the wide range of support that they can access. One parent summed up the views of many when they said it is 'a really wonderful school where my children are flourishing'. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils are polite and courteous. They told us that they feel safe and that if they have any worries, there would be an adult who would help them. Incidents of bullying are rare and, if it does happen, pupils trust adults to deal with it quickly. Leaders prioritise pupils' personal development. This is a strength of the school. Leaders have considered carefully how to include personal development in all aspects of the curriculum. Trips, visitors and experiences are all planned to ensure that they are purposeful and enrich the learning. Leaders often give pupils opportunities to have a say about whole-school decisions, such as the lunchtime menu choices.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum has been developed and has an ambitious vision but is yet to be securely and consistently embedded in a very small number of subjects. As a result of this, pupils do not make as much progress as they could in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the delivery of the curriculum in all subjects is securely and consistently embedded across the school and having the strong impact intended.
