What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 June 2022
New Chapter school is a safe, happy and welcoming community. Pupils appreciate the warm welcome they receive from leaders and staff every morning. Staff know pupils and their families very well. If there is ever any bullying, staff deal with any incidents quickly. The school's values of 'learning, love and laughter' weave through all aspects of everyday life. Leaders have high expectations. Pupils who consistently live up to the school values celebrate their achievements by enjoying 'hot chocolate with the headteacher' every Friday. The ethos around school is calm. Playtimes are sociable occasions. Pupils look forward to catching up with their friends. They relish setting up games they enjoy on the trim trail and the adventure playground. Pupils are proud of the jobs they do, these include play leaders and library monitors. Pupils look forward to the after-school clubs. These include the ever-popular choir, multi sports, dancing, dodge ball, the apprentice and gardening clubs. Pupils look forward to the trips which help bring their learning to life. They enjoy visits to Silverstone, Warwick Castle and the local leisure centre. Children in early years are excited about their trip to the farm.
What the school should improve
- A small proportion of pupils do not attend school as often as they should. Therefore, they do not learn as well as they could, and they miss out on important experiences. Leaders should continue their work in this area to improve attendance.
- Teachers' subject knowledge is variable in some foundation subjects and some areas of learning in early years. Therefore, pupils do not achieve as well as they could across all subjects. Leaders should ensure that all teachers receive the support they need to develop their expertise.
