What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
There is a calm, purposeful air to Leas Park Junior school. Pupils are happy here because they are clear about what is expected of them. They talk fondly of 'The Hub' as a safe place. Some pupils proudly talk about regulating their emotions and how this has impacted positively on their ability to learn. Most parents and carers recognise this too. One parent said: 'The school have shown such kindness and support to meet the needs of my child.' However, further work is needed to ensure that everyone understands how behaviour is managed, so that misinformation does not arise. Adults in school run the many extra-curricular activities on offer. Leaders ensure that there is a clear programme, so that all pupils receive equal opportunities to attend. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils speak fondly of the school's motto, 'reach for the stars.' They enjoy visits from Paralympians and regular trips or visitors to school to enhance pupils' understanding of the curriculum. Many enjoy the various roles and responsibilities they hold in school. Pupils like their teachers and the lessons they receive. However, some parts of the school's curriculum are not fully implemented.
What the school should improve
- Some aspects of the school's curriculum are not fully implemented. This slows down pupils' ability to recall key knowledge. Leaders must complete their work to refine assessment systems and embed the use of key vocabulary for all subjects. Where necessary, they must arrange for further support to develop teachers' knowledge and expertise to deliver the curriculum.
- The work leaders have done to improve behaviour and attendance needs further refinement. Some pupils do not learn the school's curriculum because they do not attend school regularly enough. For a few pupils and parents, there is a sense of unfairness about how behaviour is managed. Leaders need to continue to develop systems for behaviour with clarity and openness. They also need to ensure all disadvantaged pupils attend school more regularly.
