What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 May 2023
Pupils enjoy being at Keresley Newland, where they feel welcome, happy and safe. This is because staff know them well and take good care of them. Pupils are kind to each other, and bullying does not happen often. If it does, staff deal with it. Staff have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and learning. There are clear and simple rules about respect, which all pupils know and understand. This helps to ensure that pupils' behaviour in lessons and around the school is good. Pupils listen attentively during lessons and work hard to produce work of an increasingly good standard. On the playground, pupils play well together, and the older pupils support the younger ones. Stories and books play a significant role in daily life at the school. Pupils talk enthusiastically about their favourite authors and stories. They are proud of their class names, which are all associated with books. Pupils have a wide range of experiences which help them to develop their character. These include being on the school council and taking part in safe cycling training. Pupils also enjoy visits to local places of interest and further afield to enhance their knowledge.
What the school should improve
- The additional support for some pupils at the early stages of reading is not having the intended impact. As a result, some pupils do not read with the fluency they need to read for meaning. Leaders should review the support these pupils receive so that they develop the level of fluency they need to read for meaning.
- In some lessons, the work given to pupils does not support them to know and remember what is most important. As a result, pupils sometimes struggle to make connections between their prior and current learning. Leaders should ensure that pupils' work supports them to retain the important knowledge they need to make links across the curriculum.
- There are some pupils who do not attend school often enough. This hinders their progress and their ability to reach their full potential. Leaders should continue to work with families to ensure that all pupils attend regularly.
