What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils are well cared for at this school. Strong relationships exist between all members of the school community, underpinned by the school values of love, grace and respect. Adults consistently treat pupils with kindness and respect. Pupils value this and feel safe in school. Strong support systems are in place. Pupils access these confidently when they need help with any worries or concerns. The school strives for all pupils to achieve their very best and be successful. Pupils know that achieving well requires hard work and resilience. Generally, they rise to this challenge, maintaining a clear focus on their learning in lessons. As a result, pupils learn effectively and achieve well. Pupils' learning is enhanced through various visits and visitors. A journey along a local river cements pupils' understanding of different river features, and visits to museums and art galleries enrich pupils' experience of the world beyond the classroom. Furthermore, through working with local community groups, pupils learn about diversity and the importance of saving money and budgeting. All pupils enjoy opportunities to develop leadership skills and make a positive contribution to their school community. They are proud of the different jobs they do, such as 'Leesland Leaders', 'Sports Crew' and a wide variety of class monitor roles.
What the school should improve
- Teachers' knowledge of how to ensure pupils know and remember more over time is not as strong as it could be. This means that they do not always use the most effective strategies to enable pupils to achieve as well as they could. The school should improve teachers' knowledge and expertise to help pupils to achieve well across the curriculum.
- Too many pupils do not attend school regularly enough. High levels of absence mean these pupils develop gaps in their understanding and can fall behind their peers. The school should continue to strengthen the actions and support provided for pupils and their families to continue to reduce absence.
