What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 January 2025
Pupils are happy and enjoy attending Laurel Lane. This is an inclusive school where everyone is welcomed, supported, and encouraged to do their best. Pupils are kept safe because there are effective systems in place to address any concerns that might arise. The school supports pupils who need additional help to self-regulate. Nevertheless, some pupils remember the school when it was not as calm. Staff work closely to support these pupils, reminding and reassuring them of their safety. Staff have raised their expectations of pupils. Pupils are learning to rise to this challenge. However, there is variation in the quality of pupils' learning experiences which means that they do not consistently achieve strong outcomes. The school accurately identifies the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). However, these pupils also experience variability in their learning experience. Pupils behave well in lessons and during break and lunchtimes. This begins in early years where children settle quickly and learn to share, take turns, and listen to others. Bullying is rare. Where it does occur, leaders have taken swift and effective action to deal with it.
What the school should improve
- Assessment is not used with precision to check what pupils know and to identify and address any misconceptions. As a result, some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge which make it difficult for them to build and deepen their learning. The school should ensure assessment is effective and the information gathered is used well to rectify gaps in pupils' knowledge.
- Some staff do not have sufficient subject knowledge to deliver the curriculum well. This means that pupils do not consistently learn important curriculum content. This limits how well they achieve, including in national assessments. The school should continue to provide training and support so that staff are well placed to implement the curriculum and support all pupils, including those with SEND, to achieve well.
