What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils are excited to attend this school each day. They are encouraged to be curious and creative, expressing their learning in different ways. Pupils know that their teachers expect a lot from them and they are keen to rise to this challenge. They achieve especially well in core subjects and those which are prioritised in the school's curriculum. Pupils work hard in lessons, and learning is rarely disrupted by poor behaviour. The well-being of pupils is a top priority at this school. Pupils feel safe and well supported. They appreciate opportunities to talk with adults in school if they need to, sometimes while walking the school dog, Paddy. The school provides a huge range of opportunities for pupils to develop their talents and interests. These range from football and forest school to choir, dance and drama. Through their 'three pledges' they aim for every pupil to have the chance to learn an instrument, perform on stage and represent the school in a sports team. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. In responding to our survey, one parent told us, 'Halterworth is a fantastic school and my children are thriving there. Their individual talents are nurtured and celebrated.'
What the school should improve
- The planning and delivery of the curriculum in a small number of foundation subjects are in need of further development. Where this is the case, pupils do not make as much progress as they could. Leaders should continue with their work to set out precisely what they want pupils to know and remember in these subjects.
- There is variability in the effectiveness of the school's PSHE curriculum. Some pupils struggle to remember what they have learned in this subject and apply it to their everyday lives, including the way they interact with each other. Leaders should review and improve the delivery of this subject to ensure that pupils remember their learning with greater confidence.
