What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Pupils settle quickly and grow in confidence at Henry Moore school. Pupils warmly welcome others, including those who join the school from other settings or overseas. This helps to create a very friendly community feel around the school. Leaders encourage pupils to see themselves as positive members of a diverse and multi- cultural society. Pupils are confident and respectful citizens who are kind and polite. Pupils understand that they are the future and can 'change the world'. Pupils feel happy and are safe at school, where 'we will never be lonely because we will always have our friends with us'. Pupils know there will always be a listening ear for any worries they may have. Pupils learn how to behave well, take care of each other and follow the school's rules. There are high expectations for all pupils' achievement. As a result, all pupils enjoy their learning and achieve well. Many take part in the plethora of school clubs and team game competitions. Pupils enjoy the many opportunities to take on the responsibility of looking after their school and each other. For example, global ambassadors proudly represent the school to local community leaders and advocate the rights of children.
What the school should improve
- There are inconsistencies in teachers' expectations of pupils' written work. In some subjects and year groups, the quality of pupils' work does not always reflect how well they are learning or the ambition of the curriculum. The school should ensure that teachers' expectations of pupils' written work are consistently high across all subjects and throughout the school.
