What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Killisick Junior School is a happy and caring school. The school has high expectations of pupils' achievement. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. Pupils enjoy learning here. They say that staff are caring and make learning fun. Parents and carers are positive about how well their children develop at the school. One parent, typical of many, described the school as 'A wonderful school at the heart of the community.' Pupils behave well in lessons and at social times. Pupils feel safe in school. They are respectful towards each other and the staff. Every morning, staff check in with pupils to ensure that they are ready to learn. Staff swiftly provide support for any pupils who need it. The school also teaches pupils how to deal with their emotions. This helps pupils to develop positive attitudes to learning. Pupils are proud to take on leadership opportunities. For example, they enjoy being sports leaders, well-being warriors, digital leaders and members of the school parliament. Pupils benefit from a range of well-planned trips and visits that enhance the curriculum. Many pupils enjoy attending extra-curricular clubs such as choir, guitar club, handball and dodgeball.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, the activities that staff use do not support pupils to learn key knowledge as well as they could. This means some pupils do not always build securely on previous learning. The school should ensure that teachers plan activities that are precisely matched to the intended learning.
