What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 February 2024
Pupils, staff and governors are incredibly proud to be part of the Lingey House family. Many are 'Lingey ducks' who have enjoyed a long association with the school. Staff know the pupils and their needs extremely well. Warm, nurturing relationships between pupils and staff are seen throughout the school. Pupils' behaviour is exemplary. They are very polite and respectful. In lessons, pupils listen carefully to their teachers. They engage in their learning with enthusiasm and focus. At social times, pupils play cooperatively together. The school has high expectations of all pupils. The school is highly inclusive. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are supported effectively. Pupils achieve well. The school offers pupils an impressive range of ways to thrive and develop beyond the classroom. Pupils engage extremely well with the extensive outdoor play and learning facilities. Pupils contribute well to their local community through activities such as tree-planting and litter-picking. Pupils work with community liaison officers to take on the role of the 'mini-police' enthusiastically. They benefit from the leadership opportunities provided. These include reading, outdoor play and the role of mental health ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- The school's refinements to the writing curriculum are not yet fully embedded. Addressing this is important, as pupils have limited opportunities to write at length, and their composition and editing skills are not as assured as they should be. The school must further refine the teaching of writing so that pupils' knowledge and skills are developed well.
