What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2023
From the moment children join the early years, the school's values of 'bravery, community, curiosity, resilience and respect' are interwoven through all that they experience and do. Pupils particularly value respect, which is evident in relationships throughout the school. Pupils are kind to each other. This helps make London Meed a happy place for pupils to learn. Pupils respond positively to the high expectations that staff promote and they typically behave and learn well. They are keen and inquisitive learners. Pupils are confident that staff will help them if they have any problems or worries. On the rare occasion that bullying occurs, staff deal with it swiftly and effectively. Pupils are encouraged to be active citizens, for example, by visiting local care homes or by taking on leadership responsibilities in school. This includes being a member of the 'junior governors', who work closely with the governing body. Pupils value the opportunities to contribute positively to school life. Pupils enjoy taking part in a wide range of clubs and additional activities, such as the 'Ugly Bug Ball' in early years. These experiences help to forge a strong, cohesive school community where pupils feel valued, listened to and safe.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, some staff do not use the most appropriate teaching activities to teach the key content. This hinders how well pupils build on their prior learning. Leaders should ensure that all teachers are equipped with the skills and knowledge to teach the essential content and then check how well pupils have learned it.
- Subject leaders have not yet reviewed the new curriculum in all subjects. As a result, not all leaders know what impact the intended curriculum is having and what refinements are needed. Senior leaders must develop subject leaders' expertise to ensure that subject leaders have precise information about how effectively the curriculum is taught and how well pupils learn.
