What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 December 2022
At Kingsley Community School, diversity is celebrated, and everyone is accepted for who they are. Pupils and their families develop strong relationships with staff from the moment they join the school. Pupils trust the adults who work with them. This helps them to feel safe and happy. Pupils understand and appreciate that teachers have extremely high expectations, both of their behaviour and their academic success. Pupils and children in the early years settle quickly into the clear routines that leaders provide for them. Leaders deal with bullying quickly and effectively. Pupils who spoke to the inspector said that staff never tolerate it. Pupils treat each other with patience and respect. They enjoy the praise and recognition that they receive for their achievements. Lessons and social times are calm and orderly. Pupils relish the challenge of learning, even when it is demanding. They rise to meet the ambition of the curriculum that leaders provide and, as a result, they achieve well. Pupils and children, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from the wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. These experiences help pupils to develop their language skills as well as their wider understanding of the world. For example, pupils attend regular trips and visits, and have time dedicated to learning surrounded by nature outdoors. Children in the early years benefit from regular mornings of 'stay and play' with their parents and carers.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, leaders are still refining the exact knowledge that they want pupils to know and the order in which it should be taught. This means that some pupils are not able to build on their previous learning as well as they should. Leaders should finalise their curriculum thinking so that all teachers are clear about the precise knowledge that pupils will learn and remember from the early years to Year 6.
