What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 June 2025
The Wyche is a caring and inclusive school. The school's vision, 'together we soar', is clear to see across many aspects of the school's work. The school and parents work well together for the benefit of the pupils. Pupils are highly motivated and enjoy coming to school to learn and play. The school has built on the school's successes since the last inspection. Staff are determined for all pupils to achieve well academically. Pupils achieve this ambition, and they achieve well. This enables pupils to leave the school ready for the next stage of their education. Pupils' safety and their social and emotional well-being are a high priority at this school. Pupils understand the behaviours that are expected of them. Routines are set right from the very start in Reception. Therefore, pupils benefit from a calm and orderly environment, free from disruption. The school provides rich opportunities to enhance pupils' experiences at school beyond the curriculum. Trips and visitors help bring learning to life for pupils. The school encourages pupils to use the school grounds and local area to foster a love of nature. Pupils benefit from opportunities to represent the school at local sporting competitions and musical events.
What the school should improve
- There is some variability in how staff check pupils' understanding. When this happens, opportunities are lost to reshape the learning and address misconceptions. This means that on occasions some pupils do not learn as well as they could in lessons. The school should implement a systematic approach to how staff check understanding so all staff to become expert at responding to how well pupils know and remember their learning.
