What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 3 October 2023

Pupils flourish and are happy in this diverse and inclusive school. From the very beginning, pupils learn to be kind and respectful. Their kindness and generosity stretch into the local community. Pupils host many fundraising activities, including the 'fiver challenge' where they work together and use their entrepreneurship skills to raise money for their chosen charity. Pupils also take part in sing-alongs with the residents of the local nursing home and with people with sight loss. This helps pupils play an active part in contributing positively to society. The school has high expectations of pupils' behaviour and conduct, and pupils live up to these. Staff have formed caring relationships with pupils. Pupils feel confident in talking about any worries they may have because they know their trusted adult will help them. The school's enrichment programme is of high quality. Each pupil has a 'passport of 100 things to do before I leave Lanesfield'. These include activities that encourage pupils to step out of their comfort zone, such as have an interview, go on a school residential and take part in gorge walking. Many pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), participate in these activities. The school has ensured that pupils are not limited by any means, and it does all it can so that pupils get the best possible deal.

What the school should improve

  • In some lessons, staff do not use the information obtained from formative assessments to identify the next steps in pupils' learning. This means that some pupils are not challenged to deepen their understanding and learning. The school should ensure that their assessment policies are implemented consistently to meet the needs of all pupils in order to maximise their learning.
