What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils enjoy attending Holland Park. The staff create an environment for all pupils to feel safe. The relationships they build enable this to happen. Pupils know who to talk to if they have a concern. They know that the adults will help them. Pupils look forward to learning and take pride in their work. This is because teachers encourage pupils to work hard and inspire them with interesting lessons. Pupils, including children in the early years and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), show respect to each other around school, including in the playground. They enjoy the range of equipment that they can use. Pupils are polite and considerate of others. They hold doors open for their peers and visitors, showing they have learned to respect others. Pupils have opportunities for visits relating to their learning, such as to Colchester Zoo and the local fire station. They also have the chance to attend clubs to extend their interests and talents. This includes attending a rock school club, where pupils learn to play instruments, such as the electric guitar and the drums. Having these opportunities helps pupils to widen their horizons, which they appreciate.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, teachers do not assess pupils' learning well enough to enable them to adapt their teaching to meet the needs of pupils. As a result, some pupils, including pupils with SEND, do not make the progress that they are capable of. The school should ensure that teachers use assessment to adapt teaching and inform planning in all areas of the curriculum.
- There are some instances where staff do not follow the school's behaviour policy. This results in some pupils not being supported effectively to focus on their learning. When this happens, pupils are frustrated. Sometimes this causes pupils to fall behind in their learning. The school must ensure that all staff understand the high expectations of pupils' behaviour and follow the school's behaviour policy consistently.
