What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Pupils enjoy learning at Hill Avenue. In lessons they listen carefully, show determination, and support each other during group work. By the end of Year 6, most pupils achieve the school's high expectations. Pupils leave as knowledgeable and considerate individuals who are well-prepared for secondary school. Pupils fully reflect the school values of 'happiness, achieve, respect and teamwork' in how they conduct themselves. They are kind and caring towards each other. At breaktimes, boys and girls like playing football and netball. Some pupils increase their step count by walking around the playground. Pupils are happy. They feel safe and well cared for by staff. The school's outdoor learning programme helps the youngest children to move, walk and climb safely. Older pupils learn to use tools carefully and make campfires. Pupils develop their leadership skills by serving on the junior leadership committee or by taking on the roles of head girl and boy. They develop their communication skills by taking part in the 'Have Hill Got News For You' project. Pupils present the latest news and interview teachers and classmates. Pupils can also access a range of clubs. These clubs develop and nurture pupils' musical, artistic and sporting interests.
What the school should improve
- The school does not ensure that key stage 1 pupils who are at an early stage of writing become fluent writers. As a result, some pupils' writing contains errors in letter formation, spelling and sentence construction. The school should make sure that pupils develop, practise and embed basic writing skills and learn to write legibly.
- In a few wider curriculum subjects, the adaptations made for pupils with SEND are not closely matched to their needs. As a result, some pupils with SEND do not achieve as well as they could. The school should ensure that in these subjects, the curriculum is suitably adapted so that pupils progress well through the curriculum.
