What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
This is a school where pupils work hard to show the school's 'PROUD' values. The value of 'respect' is evident in the warm, caring relationships between staff and pupils across the school. Pupils trust that an adult will listen and help them if they have a worry. This means pupils feel safe. Pupils are kind towards each other, and this makes James Wolfe a happy place for pupils to learn. Pupils behave well during learning and social times. This is because staff have high expectations of them. Classrooms are calm places to learn and as a result, pupils achieve well here. There are a range of opportunities for pupils to take on roles of responsibility. For example, 'British Sign Language Buddies' promote the importance of sign language across the school and 'History Heroes' encourage their friends to identify a person in history that is significant to them. Attendance is a priority for the school. Leaders are taking appropriate action to support pupils and their families so that attendance continues to improve. Pupils enjoy the wide range of enrichment activities on offer such as gymnastics, fencing and musical theatre club. These opportunities aim to help pupils to develop their talents and pursue their interests.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, pupils with SEND are not given precise enough support within lessons. This means that some pupils do not access the curriculum as well as they could and learning is hampered. The school needs to ensure that the support given to pupils with SEND is precise so that these pupils achieve well across the curriculum.
