What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 8 October 2024

Pupils are happy and enjoy their lessons. They are proud to be members of 'Team Lozells'. Pupils feel safe and looked after by the staff. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement. Pupils know this. They behave well and work hard in lessons to successfully reach the high expectations. Occasionally, when pupils fall out, the school helps them to resolve any issues rapidly. Pupils enjoy the extra activities which the school provides. This includes visits to the coastline and a local zoo. There is also a planned trip to a local theatre. The school works in partnership with others such as the Aston Villa Foundation and the Birmingham Royal Ballet Company to provide practical and exciting opportunities for pupils to learn new skills. The work with these partners, and others, helps pupils understand they can achieve anything in life. In conversation, pupils value their school and know it is helping to prepare them for secondary school and university later in life.

What the school should improve

  • Not all teachers routinely check what pupils know sharply enough. As a result, some pupils have misconceptions that teachers are not aware of and these hinder learning. The school should ensure that ongoing assessment is accurate so any misconceptions can be addressed rapidly.
