What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils thrive at Newton Leys. They enjoy attending this friendly and nurturing school. There are caring and respectful relationships between pupils and staff. Pupils feel confident to speak with adults if they have any concerns or worries. The school has high expectations for the achievement of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils respond positively to these expectations and achieve well. In lessons, pupils are engaged, settle quickly to tasks and work collaboratively. Right from the early years, pupils are inquisitive learners. Teachers present learning in ways that inspire pupils' curiosity and love of learning. Pupils behave well and work hard. Routines that promote positive behaviour begin in the early years and are well established throughout the school. Displays in the classrooms and around the school celebrate pupils' learning across the curriculum. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles through responsibilities such as being school councillors, well-being ambassadors and sports captains. These provide pupils with opportunities to contribute to decision-making processes. The school successfully supports pupils to become well-rounded individuals and respectful citizens. The school provides pupils with a range of clubs, sports and arts opportunities that help them to develop their talents and interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the important knowledge that the school wants pupils to learn is not identified clearly enough. This makes it more difficult for pupils to build a secure body of subject knowledge over time. The school should ensure that staff are clear about the important content that pupils should know so that they can emphasise this during lessons activities and checks on pupils' learning.
