What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 July 2023
Kilsby is a joyful, nurturing school. Staff have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and disadvantaged pupils. The school values sit at the heart of everything. Staff model these values and refer to them frequently in conversations with pupils. As a result, pupils say the school is 'a nice place to be'. Pupils feel happy and safe. Pupils have positive attitudes towards their learning and show resilience in lessons. Teachers regularly check in with pupils and give them prompt reminders. These approaches are helping pupils to manage their own behaviour and develop independence. Pupils are well mannered. Incidents of bullying are rare. Pupils understand what bullying is, including cyber-bullying. Leaders ensure that tailored support is available for any pupils who may need it. Pupils enjoy working together. They show care for the environment and nature around them. During breakfast club, a group of pupils rescued and revived a bee while another group litter picked. Pupils are proud of their school. Pupils value the use of 'spotlight' awards in assemblies to recognise their individual achievements. Pupils enjoy taking on extra responsibility and they aspire to be house captains in Year 6.
What the school should improve
- Subject leaders' understanding of how well the curriculum is being implemented is limited in some subjects. As a result, they do not yet identify precisely what is going well and what actions are needed to improve the curriculum further. Leaders should ensure that subject leaders develop their skills further so that all areas of the school's curriculum implementation can be monitored effectively.
