What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 December 2024
The staff at Hatfield Heath tailor their support and education to the pupils who attend. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), get all the support they need to succeed. Pupils enjoy their time at school. They get on together and are enthusiastic about their learning. Pupils say, rightly, that the school is welcoming. As one child commented, 'We are all friends.' Pupils are respectful towards each other and behave well. The school is determined to ensure all pupils do well and have high aspirations. The school's 'Heath way' encourages hard work, equality, ambition, team spirit and heart. Pupils experience this throughout their time at the school. Whether it is classroom-based learning, creative artwork or the anticipated nativity performance, the school provides vibrant activities that really engage the pupils. Parents and carers speak positively of the school. They appreciate the warm nurturing environment and value the care their children receive from the staff. Many parents acknowledged the efforts of the school to help support pupils and their families. Parents wholeheartedly recommend the school.
What the school should improve
- The school does not have a unified view of what vocabulary pupils need to know and understand to succeed in different subjects. As a result, not all pupils can spell and use essential vocabulary, leading to repeated errors in their written work. The school should ensure that staff know what words pupils need to know and how to help them remember them so pupils are prepared for their future learning.
