What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 October 2022
There is a shared sense of pride about being part of 'Team Rowner'. Leaders combine a strong sense of nurture with high expectations for pupils. Staff know the school community well and use this knowledge to create strong relationships. This allows all pupils to feel supported and achieve well. Families recognise the lengths leaders and staff go to. They too see themselves as part of 'Team Rowner'. As one parent said: 'Rowner Junior is one of the most caring and nurturing schools I know. The children are at the centre of everything they do. The opportunities available, not just within the school day, are second to none. It is more a way of life than a school.' Leaders focus on promoting behaviour which supports learning. As a result, pupils behave well and work hard. Pupils feel safe and happy due to the many systems in place to support them. They know that staff help them with their friendships and will address any unkind behaviour or incidents of bullying. Pupils are excited to join one of the many school clubs. The popular 'Dance Live' and construction clubs regularly enter local and national competitions. Their success is shared with pride across the school community.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, the curriculum is not fully developed. As a result, pupils cannot always remember key knowledge and make links with their previous learning. Leaders need to embed the development of clearly sequenced knowledge and skills in these subjects.
- Some pupils do not attend school regularly enough. This affects their learning and well-being. Leaders need to ensure that strategies to improve attendance remain a high priority and that they keep a careful check on their effectiveness.
