What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 October 2024
Staff at Ipsley C of E Middle School quickly forge warm working relationships with pupils and provide a high quality of pastoral care. Pupils know that there is always an adult to turn to, and so they feel safe. They are happy at school and their attendance is good. There are high expectations for what all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), can achieve. Across their different subjects, they meet these expectations and learn well. Pupils enjoy the wide-ranging, ambitious curriculum. Educational visits and guest speakers add significantly to pupils' experience of learning. The school expects pupils to meet a high standard of behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and at social times. They are well mannered and treat each other with respect. The school is a calm and purposeful place. Pupils learn important skills and develop key attributes. For example, they learn to be more confident, more independent and to understand how others see things. They are proud of raising money for Birmingham Children's Hospital. Pupils have the opportunity to take positions of responsibility and leadership. They enjoy a wide range of after-school clubs, including crochet and Japanese. Pupils are very well prepared for high school.
What the school should improve
- There is inconsistency about how fully the school's expectations are embedded in some classrooms. As a result, some pupils are not fully focused on all aspects of their work, and they do not learn as effectively as they should. The school should ensure the approaches used to engage those pupils to improve their attitudes to learning help them to understand and follow the school's expectations consistently so that they can make the very best of their learning opportunities.
