What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 November 2023
The school's excellent personal development offer ensures pupils become knowledgeable active citizens. They learn to 'courageously advocate' for others. Pupils' behaviour and attitudes are exemplary. They attend school very regularly. Pupils are safe and extremely well cared for by staff. The school is a calm and orderly environment. Children in Reception benefit from time spent with their Year 6 'buddies' who show them how to get along with others. Children quickly gain the skills needed to make friends and learn together successfully. Pupils learn to make the right choices. The school is ambitious for pupils to be the best they can be. This ambition is realised in most subjects, especially through the personal social and health education (PSHE) curriculum. Pupils have a detailed knowledge of how to maintain a healthy body and mind. They enjoy physical activities. Pupils learn to grow their own vegetables and herbs. Pupils aspire to have careers and they aim to contribute to local, national and global change. Pupils know and understand about life outside of Kemble. They learn respect and tolerance as 'everyone is different'. Pupils say, 'it's okay to be you'. Pupils share their thoughts and views confidently, with maturity and humility.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, pupils do not make links between important concepts well enough. This makes it difficult for them to build on prior knowledge. The school needs to identify the essential knowledge they want pupils to learn and to check and strengthen pupils' knowledge of these concepts to help pupils make connections within and across subjects.
