What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 April 2024
The school's values of being 'PROUD' shine brightly in this school. There are proud pupils, parents and carers, staff and governors. The school community is supportive of the school's positive ethos and inclusive values. Pupils feel safe and happy here. Parents appreciate the rapid improvements the school has made in the last two years. One parent, typical of many, shared, 'James Peacock School is a truly wonderful school and I am absolutely delighted my children are in education there. The progress since the last inspection is clear for all to see.' Pupils achieve well. They enjoy school life and love learning. They speak enthusiastically about a range of topics they enjoy learning and the knowledge they can remember. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff create a warm and caring environment in which pupils flourish. Pupils are respectful and courteous. They play happily together at breaktimes and concentrate well in lessons. Positive behaviour choices and attitudes are celebrated and promoted. Pupils value the range of clubs they can attend such as mathematics, dance and sports activities.
What the school should improve
- The school is still developing and improving its approach to assessment in some subjects. Teachers do not always use assessment consistently well to identify those aspects of important knowledge that they need to deepen pupils' understanding of. Consequently, on occasions, pupils do not achieve the highest standards that they might. The school needs to ensure that the use of assessment across all subjects helps pupils to achieve as well as they can.
