What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 January 2025
Pupils are happy and well nurtured here. They treat others with respect and celebrate the vibrant diversity of the school, for example through 'International Day' festivities. Pupils know they have 'trusted adults' who swiftly resolve any worries they may have. The school encourages pupils to become leaders and to contribute to the life of the school. For instance, the 'curriculum committee' helps the school to review pupils' learning. Staff have high expectations of all pupils' learning. Leaders have recently designed a new curriculum that is broad and enables pupils to build their knowledge over time in most subjects. In some areas, pupils require further opportunities to practise and apply this new learning. Pupils enjoy their lessons and behave well. All pupils take part in a range of educational visits. For example, children in the Nursery visit an art exhibition. Older pupils can opt to take part in an international trip, including to Spain for a robotics festival and to Turkey for a folk-dance performance. A wide range of activities, including choir and coding, encourage pupils to enjoy a variety of interests. 'Holmleigh's Got Talent' helps pupils to share their talents and interests. Pupils eagerly take part in daily exercise to start each day.
What the school should improve
- The curriculum in some subjects is at an earlier stage of implementation. In these instances, pupils are not given sufficient opportunity to practise and apply the important ideas they need to secure, including in aspects of early reading. As a result, pupils, including some with SEND, do not consistently develop the depth of knowledge they need to be ready for the next stage of their learning. The school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented in a way that provides ample opportunity for pupils to secure their learning.
- Oversight of the many new systems and strategies is embedding. At times, the school's understanding of the impact of recent change is more limited. The school should ensure that leaders at all levels have sufficient training and opportunity to check the impact of their work with consistent precision.
