What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 March 2024
Pupils are happy and enjoy coming to this welcoming school. Their positive behaviour helps to create a calm and orderly learning environment. The 'Middlefield Way' is threaded through everything that pupils and staff do. Pupils behave well and demonstrate the school values of ambition, resilience, empathy, determination, kindness and positivity. It is important to them that everyone is treated fairly. Pupils, including those pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), relish the wider opportunities that they receive. They take part in many sports tournaments, such as football, curling and cross country. Many pupils spoke with sheer delight about their role in a recent theatrical production. They were extremely proud to have performed in a local auditorium for their parents and their friends. The school has high expectations for pupils' academic achievement. Pupils try their best and work hard. Pupils learn about the world of work and money. This enables them to have clear goals and aspirations for life beyond Middlefield. Pupils enjoy learning new information and are enthused when sharing this knowledge with others. Pupils spoke confidently about their recent learning. Typically, pupils achieve well.
What the school should improve
- In a few curriculum subjects, the assessment strategies that the school uses are in the early stages of implementation. This means that teachers' checks on what pupils know are not as effective as they could be. The school should refine its methods for checking what pupils remember over time, to ensure that any gaps in learning are identified and addressed.
- In a few subjects, the school does not provide enough opportunities for pupils to revisit the essential knowledge, skills and vocabulary that they learn. On occasion, this prevents some pupils from having sufficiently secure foundations on which to build new learning. In these remaining curriculum areas, the school should develop strategies to ensure that pupils embed knowledge successfully into their long-term memory.
