What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils said that they are proud to be pupils of Hollickwood. This is a friendly, welcoming and inclusive school that pupils enjoy attending. They are happy and kept safe. Pupils spoken with during the inspection were keen to talk about how their teachers are kind and helpful and how they make learning fun. The school's values of 'commitment, courage, confidence, compassion, creativity and curiosity' are lived out by pupils here. This is because leaders have high expectations of all, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils learn well and, in most subjects, benefit from a curriculum that prepares them well for the next stage of their education. Pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful to adults and are kind and caring towards each other. Pupils behave extremely well in the classroom and are entirely focused on their learning. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe because they can speak to an adult if they have any concerns or worries. They explained that bullying rarely happens. If it does, adults deal with it quickly. Leaders are determined that all pupils, including those with SEND, attend activities aimed at developing their interests and talents. For example, pupils take part in music tuition, art, football, and story and newspaper writing.
What the school should improve
- Some subjects are at an earlier stage of development. In these areas, teachers' subject knowledge is less well developed. As a result, teachers do not consistently explain subject content clearly. Nor do they systematically check whether pupils have securely learned and remembered important knowledge that has been taught. This means that pupils' understanding in these areas is less well developed. Leaders should ensure that teachers have sufficient training and support to strengthen their subject expertise to better implement the planned curriculum in these subjects.
