What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 May 2022
Pupils are proud to be part of the Kerr Mackie community. They enjoy their lessons and the good friends that they have. They say that this is a school that welcomes new people, who quickly settle in and are happy here. Leaders, governors and staff have high expectations of what all pupils can achieve. They are determined to continue improving so that they can provide the best academic and social education. Adults and pupils share the strong school values of the '5Cs' (community, challenge, confidence, curiosity and care). Pupils understand the '5Cs' and put these values into practice. Pupils are keen to learn and to talk to visitors about what they have learned. They behave well most of the time, in lessons and at break and lunchtimes. There is very little bullying. Pupils say when it does happen, adults quickly sort it out. They say the anti-bullying ambassadors do a good job. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have the opportunity to be involved in clubs and activities outside of the school day. The Year 6 pupils are particularly looking forward to taking part in exciting outdoor activities on their residential visit. Everyone enjoys the special days when they raise money to help others.
What the school should improve
- Until recently, the curriculum in early years was not as developed as that in the rest of school. Some children did not achieve as well as they could. Recently, leaders have taken steps to improve the curriculum in early years and significant improvement has already taken place. Leaders should continue with their plans to embed the new curriculum and ensure it is followed consistently.
- Some pupils do not attend school every day as they should. Leaders should continue with their work to help parents to understand the importance of regular school attendance so that pupils can consistently access the good quality of education on offer.
