What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 14 November 2023

Pupils who attend High Meadow Community School are proud of their school and rightly so. They attend eagerly and are keen to learn. The warm relationships between staff and pupils ensure pupils are supported in all aspects of school life. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that staff care for them because staff demonstrate this in all they do. The needs of pupils drive all decisions in school. Pupils recognise this, saying, 'Everything we do we do together. Every decision is made with everybody in mind.' Pupils have beautiful manners. They are polite and respectful. They understand the school's simple rules of 'ready, respectful and safe'. They abide by these rules admirably. This helps the school to feel calm, purposeful and happy. Leaders have high ambitions for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). They want pupils to learn to the best of their abilities and to be the best version of themselves they can be. Pupils relish this and rise to the challenges in terms of learning and in preparing to be responsible adults of the future. The ambition that leaders have is achieved through the school's actions and the pupils' attitudes.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subject areas, leaders have not yet finalised curriculum plans. This means that in these subjects, pupils are not yet able to link knowledge and deepen understanding as well as they might, building on what they have learned before. Leaders should continue to develop these subjects to the same high standard as in other areas of the curriculum.
