What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
Pupils, and students in the sixth form, build strong and supportive relationships with staff at Inscape House. This helps them to feel safe and happy. Parents and carers value the support and guidance that staff provide. A typical comment was: 'This is a fantastic school that supports my child academically and emotionally.' Pupils and students live up to leaders' and staff's high expectations. Most pupils and students improve their behaviour considerably over time. They work hard in their lessons and are determined to succeed. Pupils and students said that if any bullying happened, it would be sorted out swiftly and effectively. Leaders are committed to improving pupils' and students' life chances. Staff work alongside specialists to ensure that pupils and students receive the support that they need. This helps to ensure that pupils and students achieve well in a range of subjects. Pupils and students benefit from a wide range of opportunities outside of the academic curriculum. They serve staff and visitors with a smile in the on-site café. Leaders have established a successful student council. Student councillors sought their peers' views on how lunchtime clubs could be improved. As a result, pupils and students enjoy taking part in a range of activities. These include a football club, train club and karaoke club.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders have not identified the most important knowledge that pupils and students will learn. This hinders some pupils' and students' progress as they do not build new knowledge on what they already know. Leaders should ensure that the knowledge that pupils and students will learn is clearly identified and sequenced.
- At times, the phonics curriculum is not delivered as intended. Some staff lack the confidence and expertise that they need to deliver the phonics curriculum with fidelity and in a way that meets pupils' and students' needs. Leaders should provide staff with support and training to further strengthen staff's expertise.
