What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 February 2025
Linton Heights is a happy and harmonious community. Pupils enjoy trusting relationships with adults. There is always someone on hand to deal with any concerns should they arise. The school's well-being programme provides pupils with a better understanding of their emotions. This means pupils express their feelings confidently. Pupils show kindness and respect for one another. Pupils feel safe and well cared for. The school has high expectations for pupils' achievements. Classrooms are busy places of learning. Pupils work hard and listen attentively to their teachers. Pupils enjoy working in groups. They contribute to class discussions with their ideas and are keen to find out about new things. This means they achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their talents and interests. Music is a particular favourite of pupils. All pupils learn a musical instrument while at school. Many join the school orchestra and perform for parents and carers and local organisations. Pupils appreciate the opportunities to suggest and lead their own lunchtime clubs. This helps them to learn about responsibility and teamwork.
What the school should improve
- At times, teachers do not consistently check what pupils remember before providing new learning. This means some pupils have misconceptions and do not build their knowledge securely. The school should ensure that all staff have the expertise to identify and address any gaps or misconceptions in pupils' learning.
