What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 11 June 2024
Pupils at Ladymount are very proud of their school. They enjoy the warm welcome that they receive from staff each morning. Pupils have strong relationships with staff. This makes them feel well cared for and also confident to share their feelings and thoughts. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are exceptionally well-mannered and courteous to adults and to one another. Pupils know how important it is to treat everyone in the same way. They are kind and welcoming to pupils who are new to the school. Pupils have a very well-developed sense of right and wrong. They are confident to speak up when they need to do so. Pupils know that the school has high expectations of their learning. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. They are well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils benefit greatly from an impressive range of rich experiences that go beyond the academic curriculum. This helps them to develop as rounded young people. For example, pupils are kept well-informed about national and global events. This enables pupils to share their views confidently and listen to different opinions. Older pupils make a valuable contribution to the school through their leadership responsibilities. Prefects, play leaders and house captains support staff in the smooth running of the school day.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, the school has not ensured that teachers have all the information that they need to make sure pupils learn the full breadth of the national curriculum. This means that some pupils develop gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that in these subjects, pupils are able to learn all that they should.
- At times, in some areas of learning, the activities that children complete do not help them to learn all that they should. This prevents a few from being as well prepared as they could be for key stage 1. The school should ensure that staff receive the training that they need to deliver the early years curriculum consistently well.
