What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 November 2022
Pupils at Lawrence View describe their school as 'unique and rare'. It is a place full of 'kindness' and where everyone 'is accepted'. Pupils are polite and welcoming. They know that adults will listen to their worries and concerns. They feel safe. Lunchtimes are calm and purposeful. A wide selection of activities helps pupils to play alongside their peers. They enjoy the 'ride on' equipment and the climbing wall. They spoke enthusiastically about forest school and a recent opportunity to camp overnight on the school grounds. The school rules are well understood by all. Pupils have high expectations of their own conduct. When their peers need help to live up to these expectations, pupils support each other to understand how and why things have happened. They know that on the rare occasions bullying happens, adults will sort it out quickly. Most parents and carers are positive about the school. One parent, typical of many, said: 'The school has helped my child to flourish because of the opportunities they have had to grow and learn.' However, some pupils are over reliant on adults and do not develop sufficient knowledge of the school's curriculum.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, systems to check what pupils have learned are in the early stages of development. This means that leaders are not clear about what knowledge pupils have remembered and what they need to learn next. Leaders should ensure that effective systems are in place in all subjects to identify what pupils know and what will be their clear next steps for learning.
- Some pupils, including those with SEND and in the early years, are unable to apply what they know with increasing fluency and independence because they are over reliant on adults. This inhibits them from deepening their knowledge of the school's curriculum. Leaders must ensure that all pupils develop their knowledge, skills and abilities to apply what they know with increasing independence and fluency.
