What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 February 2024
Pupils are incredibly proud of their school. They embrace and celebrate the diversity in the school. Pupils said that they enjoy learning from each other about different cultures and ways of thinking. Pupils are very happy at this caring school where there is a strong sense of community. Pupils are kept safe at school. They know that they can speak to staff if they have any concerns. Pupils have confidence in staff to sort things out well. Through lessons and assemblies, pupils are taught how to keep themselves safe in a variety of situations. Pupils really appreciate the ways in which staff take the time to listen. They said that staff are kind and considerate of everyone's views. Pupils eagerly rise to the consistently high expectations set by all staff. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well in their learning across the curriculum. The early years provides children with an especially positive start to school. Pupils' behaviour in classrooms and around the school is exemplary. The school has created a positive culture which is highly respectful and treats every individual with dignity. Pupils demonstrate exceptionally high levels of respect for their peers, staff and visitors. The 'Hollymount Entitlement' offers all pupils excellent opportunities to enrich and extend their learning beyond the classroom. Every year, all pupils get the chance to experience well-planned special themed days, whole-school events and educational visits, including residentials.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the new curriculum and approaches for checking what pupils know and remember are not fully embedded. Pupils have some gaps in their prior knowledge and this affects how well they learn and remember new content. Where this is the case, the school should continue its work to embed the new curriculum and assessment approaches. It should continue to identify and address any gaps in pupils' prior knowledge so that pupils can learn and remember new content securely.
