What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 21 January 2025

Pupils enjoy their learning at Hall Green and feel safe. There is always an adult on hand whom they feel they can talk to and who will listen to them. Pupils live up to the school's values of 'learning with compassion, ambition, responsibility and excellence'. Pupils behave well and have positive attitudes to their work. The school sets high expectations for pupils to do well. Outcomes are improving, especially for boys. As part of the school's 60 years anniversary, it is collecting profiles to display of former pupils to raise pupils' aspirations further for their future careers. Pupils excel in sports, for example the Year 8 boys' football team progressed to the final of a local football tournament. All pupils have the chance to be included in the wide array of academic and sporting clubs, including wheelchair basketball. Pupils thrive on the leadership roles the school offers, for example as year group ambassadors or as part of the senior pupil leadership team. The school is highly responsive and considerate of pupils' well-being. For example, it received national recognition on television for its work supporting pupils to take part in physical education during Ramadhan.

What the school should improve

  • The assessment of learning is not consistent across the school, especially in key stage 3. This means that some errors and gaps in learning are missed by teachers. The school should ensure that the quality of assessment is consistently high across the school.
  • In some instances, the delivery of content to support pupils' personal development and the management of behaviour is not in line with the school's policies and procedures. This leads to lost learning for some pupils. The school should ensure that all staff consistently apply the policies and procedures.
  • A number of pupils arrive late to school and to the start of lessons. This means they miss essential learning. The school should work with pupils who arrive late to instil the importance of punctuality so they consistently arrive on time at school and for lessons.
