What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 9 November 2021
Pupils relish the challenges of the school's interesting and varied curriculum. They enjoy learning and are particularly keen to take part in the wide range of trips, clubs and visits on offer. Pupils strive to be like their 'learning superheroes' by being creative, inquisitive, reflective, resilient, resourceful and cooperative. They love earning 'Monkston points' in recognition of their efforts. Pupils are friendly and kind. They are supportive and encouraging of one another. They celebrate the successes of their peers by offering praise to each other. For example, one boy was heard during the inspection whispering, 'Good job!' to his partner. All members of the school community are valued and cared for. One pupil said that even when they have left the school, 'we will always be part of the Monkston family.' Pupils feel looked after and they feel safe. They say that there are trusted adults in school that they can go to for help if they are worried. Bullying is extremely rare. One pupil said, 'From the very first minute you enter the school you are taught not to bully, so this never happens.' Pupils know that if it did happen, teachers would deal with it really quickly.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have planned a well-sequenced, ambitious curriculum. In a small number of subjects, however, the specific key concepts that pupils will study have not been identified precisely enough. Leaders need to continue with their work to refine subject plans, making sure that there is sufficient detail regarding the crucial key concepts that pupils will be taught. Leaders should ensure that this work is completed quickly so that pupils can draw more effectively on their prior learning.
- In some subjects, the content that pupils study does not sufficiently reflect the diversity in British society. For example, pupils do not learn enough about artists from different backgrounds. Leaders should continue to explore further opportunities for pupils to learn about diversity and difference across the curriculum.
