What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
Pupils love coming to this inclusive school. The school cares deeply for the pupils' well- being. It is a place where they are nurtured to be confident learners. Consequently, pupils thrive in a happy and safe environment. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Staff model the behaviours they expect of pupils. This in turn leads to impressive behaviour throughout the school. Pupils, including children in the Reception Year, are eager to learn. They show positive attitudes to their learning and work hard. Most pupils achieve well in many areas of the curriculum. The school expects all pupils to be responsible, respectful and active members of the school community. Listening to the pupils' voice is a priority for the school, which helps build their confidence and self-esteem. The school offers a wide range of clubs, from roller booting to needlework and music. These are open to all and well attended. Pupils enjoy taking on responsibilities and take their roles seriously. For example, pupils in Year 2 act as lunchtime monitors who younger children look up to for guidance and support. 'Harewood Heroes' work to improve the environment.
What the school should improve
- Pupils do not get enough opportunities to develop and practise their writing across the full range of subjects. As a result, pupils do not fully develop their writing in each subject. The school should ensure that pupils have sufficient opportunities to develop and practise their writing, so they are fully prepared for the demands of the next key stage.
