What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 November 2024
Pupils at High Greave Junior School learn in a calm and supportive environment. This is because the core expectations of 'Listening, Empathy, Attitude, Respect, Neat, Effort and Ready' are understood by everybody and are central to the school's vision. These values create an atmosphere that supports good learning. The school has high expectations for pupils. Pupils achieve well. Staff have created a school where pupils feel safe. They are taught about potential risks to their safety, both outside school and online. Pupils say that bullying is rare and behaviour is good. They have great respect for the adults in school and know they have somebody to go to if they are worried or upset. The school helps pupils to develop their understanding of different faiths and cultures. Pupils have a strong understanding of the fundamental British values. One pupil stated, 'British values set out how people are supposed to be treated. Without them, we would not have equality, and people would not thrive.' Pupils enjoy attending school. Staff are passionate and caring. Pupils are happy and are proud to belong to High Greave Junior School. The curriculum is enhanced by visits and visitors that bring learning to life.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the school does not equip pupils with the vocabulary they need to learn more deeply. As a result, too few pupils are working at higher standards at key stage 2. The school should work with staff to better teach key concepts and the associated vocabulary so pupils have the understanding they need to learn in greater depth.
- In some wider curriculum subjects, pupils do not have enough opportunities to build on previously taught knowledge. As a result, they struggle to recall some important knowledge and use it to deepen their subject-specific understanding. The school should ensure pupils are given greater opportunities to secure their knowledge consistently well across all subjects.
