What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
This is a friendly and inclusive school. Pupils and staff have a strong sense of pride and belonging. Relationships are positive, warm and respectful. The school is calm, spaces are attractive and books are everywhere in corridor reading nooks and classrooms. Pupils' behaviour in classes is positive, with most pupils settling into their learning. The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils access a broad curriculum. They achieve well as they move through school. The curriculum and the school's core values help pupils prepare for their next education stage. Leaders' work to develop social times in school is really paying off. Pupils say that playtimes and lunchtimes are greatly improved. The new zones outside engage everyone in meaningful play. Pupils are kind and work well as a team. They understand what being honest means. They have a strong sense of fairness and equality. Pupils at Newdigate are welcoming and articulate. They are keen to share their ideas. Clubs, visits and visitors help pupils widen their interests and learn new skills. Pupils enjoy performing. The Year 6 'Pirates' production was very well supported by parents during the inspection.
What the school should improve
- Too many disadvantaged pupils and pupils with SEND do not attend school as regularly as they should. This means they are missing out on the good quality of education provided in school. The school should ensure that the strategies to improve attendance change the culture of attendance for these pupils.
- Aspects of the foundation curriculum are in the early stages of implementation. In some subjects, there is variation in staff subject knowledge. As a result, the essential knowledge pupils should learn and remember is not always clear to pupils. The school should ensure that it continues to build staff subject knowledge so that the vision for these subjects is fully realised.
