What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 31 October 2023
Pupils describe their school as peaceful, happy and safe. Pupils' attitudes to learning are universally positive. They are enthusiastic to share what they are learning in class. Leaders teach the school's expectations of conduct and character through the nine attributes of 'the fruits of the spirit.' These attributes are reinforced through assemblies, collective worship and staff interactions with pupils. Pupils show kindness and goodness in the way they work and play with others. As a result, behaviour across the school, both in lessons and free time, is excellent. Pupils in the older year groups take their responsibility as role models for the younger children seriously. They undertake their leadership roles with diligence and enthusiasm, making an active contribution to school life. This helps to create a family feel across the school in which pupils are kind to each other, regardless of difference. Reading is a key focus at Low Moor. Pupils read widely and often. They are keen to share what they have been reading recently. Leaders make sure that pupils whose reading falls behind are quickly helped to catch up and keep up with their peers. Leaders are ambitious for all pupils to achieve their best. They ensure that pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) get the extra help they need. As a result, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the school does not provide regular opportunities for pupils to review and embed their subject knowledge. This hinders pupils' ability to deepen their subject understanding. The school should devise a consistent approach to help pupils learn this content securely to ensure that pupils know and remember more over time.
- Governors do not probe the information they receive on school performance well enough. This means they do not have a sufficiently accurate picture of some areas. The school should develop stronger systems to ensure that governors are able to better check the quality of the school's work.
