What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 June 2022
Leopold is a diverse school community where pupils listen respectfully to each other, behave well in class and work hard. Teachers have high expectations. They make time to stop and check that every pupil understands new learning before moving on. Pupils rise to their teachers' high expectations. They said that they keep trying when learning is difficult until they succeed. Pupils relish opportunities to play musical instruments and sing together in school and in public performances. Over 100 pupils receive individual music tuition. Pupils who are struggling to read enjoy the extra support they get from senior leaders. Leaders listen to these pupils read every day. Pupils like taking on leadership roles. For example, pupils can join the school council which raises money for different aspects of school life, such as improving playtimes. Leaders have worked hard to improve pupils' behaviour. Pupils behave well. Leaders work closely with pupils who are finding life in school difficult. Leaders encourage these pupils with their learning and behaviour. Pupils who are worried or anxious can drop into the school's counselling service. Pupils are safe and happy in school. If problems occur, staff sort things out quickly, including any bullying.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have developed effective approaches to improving behaviour in the school. Pupils behave well. However, some parents are concerned about how well leaders manage pupils' behaviour. Leaders should continue their work to engage with parents so that there is a shared understanding of the school's work to support pupils' behaviour.
- Leaders have planned the curriculum well. They have carefully considered what pupils need to learn over time. In a few subjects, and in some units of work, leaders' curriculum thinking is not precise. This means that teachers are not clear about exactly what pupils need to know and remember in these units of work. Leaders should ensure that where this is the case, teachers know what they need to teach and when.
