What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 January 2025

Heritage Park is a welcoming and happy school. Pupils have positive relationships with each other and adults in school. They feel safe and are well cared for. Pupils know if they ever feel worried, they have an adult to talk to. Pupils attend well. Pupils enjoy the different subjects they learn in school. They talk enthusiastically about the different topics they study and know the importance of learning new knowledge. Pupils achieve well and are well prepared academically for their next stage. Pupils' positive approach to school supports them to behave well. They listen attentively in class and concentrate fully. Classrooms are calm and orderly. Learning typically proceeds without disruption. Playtime is a fun and happy time. Structured games and imaginative play proceed positively. School councillors and house captains take pride in their roles. They develop leadership skills and take an active role in school life. The school's curriculum is enriched by a range of different trips and visits. Pupils benefit from the chance to visit different places of worship. Residential trips provide the chance for pupils to develop independence and take on new challenges.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, the pedagogical choices made by teachers are not as effective as they could be. This means pupils do not always learn as successfully as they might. The school should support staff further to present the intended knowledge confidently and effectively across all areas of the curriculum.
  • The school has not fully embedded its communication systems with parents. This means that some parents feel that they are not communicated with as well as they might be. The school need to ensure that it fully embeds and develops its communication with parents so that they all feel fully informed.
