What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 June 2025
Every pupil at Jasmine Grove School is exceptionally well known by staff. Staff establish strong relationships with pupils. Pupils trust the adults in school and are confident they will take good care of them. They enjoy having a hot chocolate with their teachers, showing them how the school chicks are growing or playing cricket together at lunchtime. These positive relationships extend to parents and carers. One parent summed up the views of other parents describing the school as, 'a breath of fresh air.' The school's core purpose is that pupils will feel safe, valued and inspired to learn. There are high expectations for pupils' academic achievement and social development. Pupils respond well to these expectations. It does not take long after joining the school for pupils to recognise the value of working hard and giving of their best. They are expected to behave well. Increasingly, they learn how to recognise and manage their feelings. The school is calm and orderly. As a result of the school's kind and nurturing learning environment pupils thrive. Many pupils acknowledge how they struggled in their previous schools. They can talk about the ways in which Jasmine Grove has helped them. Pupils are happy to come to school and attend well.
What the school should improve
- A small number of safeguarding records lack sufficient detail. While the safeguarding decisions leaders make are appropriate, a few records do not evidence the chronology of events that have led to the actions that leaders have taken to secure pupils' safety and well-being. The school should ensure that records consistently provide a complete order of events that relate to each safeguarding concern.
- In some subjects, teachers do not consistently use an approach that has been agreed by the school to help pupils gain the intended knowledge. Sometimes the activity choices and strategies that teachers use do not enable pupils to learn as well as they can. The school should ensure that teachers are supported to use the agreed approaches consistently well across all of the curriculum.
