What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 June 2022
Llangrove CE Academy welcomes everyone. Pupils feel safe, enjoy life at school and thrive. The school is very much part of the local community. Parents and carers share their children's enthusiasm for the education provided. They value how well staff care for pupils and keep in touch with families. Leaders have high expectations for staff and pupils alike. They have planned an ambitious curriculum for all pupils, including for those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils are considerate and polite to each other and to adults. They behave well in lessons and at social times. Pupils enjoy studying a wide range of subjects. They have positive attitudes towards their work. Staff help them to develop curiosity and independence. Pupils also learn to work together. Older pupils are articulate. They have good opportunities to take responsibility, for example as councillors or in reading to younger classes. Bullying is uncommon, and staff resolve any disagreements quickly. The school promotes physical activity particularly well. There is a good range of play equipment and the school holds the Schools Games Mark at gold level. A high proportion of pupils take part in the wide range of after-school clubs on offer.
What the school should improve
- The governing body has given less consideration to how well the school's curriculum builds pupils' knowledge and skills than it does other duties. This makes it difficult for governors to hold leaders to account for the quality of education. Governors should ensure that they provide effective oversight of all aspects of the school, including the effectiveness of the curriculum.
- The pandemic disrupted leaders' usual work to monitor how well pupils learn subjects. This means leaders have had less information to assist them in further developing the curriculum. Leaders should ensure that they monitor how well the curriculum is implemented.
