What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 March 2023

At Haughton St Giles, pupils come to school knowing that everyone will demonstrate the school values each day. Pupils respect and look out for one another. Pupils enjoy the atmosphere this creates. At all times of the day, pupils show these values in their activities. Pupils study each value, such as forgiveness, through learning about particular historical figures. Pupils live up to the high expectations of staff. They behave well at all times of the school day. They are not concerned about the behaviour of other pupils. Pupils are keen to learn and they show positive attitudes to learning. At the end of the day, pupils listen intently to the stories read to them. They want to know how the story develops. Pupils benefit from an ambitious curriculum. Leaders ensure that the school is a safe place in which pupils can learn and play. Pupils know that they can talk to staff about any concerns they have. There is a strong sense of mutual trust and respect. Pupils know what to do if bullying happens, and staff deal with any concerns well. Pupils are encouraged to take on a variety of leadership roles. They thrive on these opportunities.

What the school should improve

  • There are some minor inconsistencies in the teaching of early reading. This means that not all pupils progress as well as they could. Leaders should make sure that all staff teach early reading effectively so that all pupils learn to read fluently.
  • In a small minority of subjects, the planned curriculum does not always build on pupils' prior learning as effectively as it could. As a result, pupils do not make as much progress as they are capable of. Subject leaders in these areas should review their curriculums to make sure that pupils' learning builds on what they have learned before.
