What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 23 May 2023

Hartpury is a caring and welcoming school. Pupils talk positively about how the school is a family. They say the school's mission of 'shining from the inside out' helps them to be respectful and understanding of others. Parents and carers talk of the school's community feel and how their children enjoy attending. Leaders have high expectations for pupils' behaviour. Pupils respond well to the systems that are in place. This starts in the early years, where children learn to work and play cooperatively. Pupils across the school are polite and well mannered. The atmosphere in lessons is calm and focused. As a result, learning is rarely disrupted. Pupils feel safe. Relationships between pupils and staff are warm and nurturing. Pupils say that staff listen to them if they need to share any worries. They say that bullying is rare. If it were to occur, they are confident that adults would deal with it quickly. Pupils enjoy the wide range of clubs and activities on offer to them, such as archery, gardening and well-being club. They value becoming members of the school or eco- council. They say these roles help them to improve their school.

What the school should improve

  • In some foundation subjects, leaders have not yet made clear enough the precise knowledge they want pupils to learn and remember. As a result, pupils have gaps in their learning and do not build their knowledge securely over time. Leaders should identify the knowledge that pupils need to learn and remember in all subject curriculums.
