What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 December 2021
Langstone learners are taught to be thinkers, to be resilient and reflective. One parent, who responded to Ofsted's Parent View questionnaire, echoed the views of many, saying, 'Langstone Junior Academy is inspirational. There is a strong ethos of empowering children to reach their full potential and to respect others. I cannot recommend this school highly enough. It is wonderful!' The headteacher and her committed team want the best for every pupil. They have high expectations of pupils' learning and behaviour. Aspiration is something staff try to instil in pupils. Pupils excitedly strive to become 'master learners'. They achieve this by showing they have developed certain qualities. One 'master learner', proudly wearing his 'master learner' polo shirt, told the lead inspector, 'It is about having integrity and being responsible for your learning.' Excellent staff-pupil relationships mean that staff know pupils very well. This leads to pupils wanting to do the right thing. As a result, pupils behave well in class and around school. Pupils happily attend school and feel safe and well cared for. They get on well with each other and know that staff will help them if they have any problems, for example if they experience bullying.
What the school should improve
- Some of the school's weakest readers have gaps in their knowledge of phonics. This makes it harder for them to read books and texts that are age-appropriate. Leaders should ensure that the weakest readers are further supported so that their knowledge of phonics improves.
