What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 June 2024
The values that are captured in the 'Lyde Green pledge' underpin everything that happens at the school. Pupils talk confidently about how the pledge encourages them to be tolerant of others, have the confidence to try new things and provide everyone with a 'warm welcome'. Pupils understand how the school rules help them to learn and set a positive example to others. This starts in the early years where children listen carefully and follow the established routines well. Across the school, pupils are polite and well- mannered. Despite this, some parents raised concerns about pupils' behaviour. Inspectors saw effective systems in place to manage behaviour and most pupils behaving well during this inspection. Pupils feel safe. They enjoy positive relationships with staff. Pupils trust adults to listen and help them with any worries or concerns they may have. Pupils enjoy a range of clubs and opportunities on offer to them, such as football, choir and learning in an outdoor environment. They take pride in their roles as head of house, reading buddies and assembly monitors. Pupils say that these roles make them feel responsible and enable them to help others.
What the school should improve
- Some teachers do not yet have the necessary subject and pedagogical knowledge they need to teach their subjects well. Assessment is not used consistently well to check pupils' learning and then to adapt learning. Pupils find it difficult to remember their learning and have gaps in their knowledge because of this. The trust needs to ensure that the curriculum is delivered effectively to help pupils know more and remember more across all subjects.
- The school does not yet have a clear oversight of the impact of its work to improve pupils' attendance. This means that it cannot assure itself that the most effective actions are in place for those pupils who do not attend often enough. The trust needs to ensure that there is a strong and shared understanding of the patterns and trends in absence so that attendance improves.
