What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 March 2025
The school's guiding principle of 'Always treat others as you would like to be treated' underpins its inclusive ethos. Pupils of all ages interact well with each other. Staff thread the 'Keevil Characteristics', such as 'teamwork', throughout school life. Older pupils delight in becoming a buddy to children in the Reception Year. This helps the youngest children to settle in quickly and become part of the friendly team spirit. The school is ambitious for pupils, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Over recent years, it has continued to strengthen its mixed-age curriculum. Pupils are keen to talk about what they have learned. Most pupils work hard in their lessons and achieve well as a result. Pupils uphold the school's values in the way they behave. For example, pupils know the importance of good 'communication' if they need to sort out any minor problems. Across the school, learning flows without disruption because pupils choose to do what is right. Pupils' service to the school and the wider community is commendable. For instance, they lead worship, support local charities, plant trees and read to residents at a local care home. At Keevil, pupils learn to become active and responsible citizens.
What the school should improve
- Systems for checking what pupils know and understand are not well established in some of the wider curriculum subjects. Where this is the case, some pupils do not secure the essential knowledge the curriculum outlines. The school and trust must ensure that teachers check pupils' learning closely in each subject and use this information to inform what comes next.
- Occasionally, the school's expectations of pupils' handwriting, grammar and presentation are not consistently high. This means that some pupils do not develop their writing fluency and accuracy as well as they could. The school and trust need to support staff to improve how to teach the foundational skills for writing so that pupils produce high-quality writing.
