What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 July 2024
Newtown is a warm and welcoming school. Pupils benefit from the positive relationships that they have with other pupils and with staff, who care deeply for them. Pupils behave well. They are kind and respectful. This makes the school a calm and happy place where everyone can focus on learning. Pupils were eager to share their knowledge with inspectors and said that they enjoy learning new things each day. Pupils say that everyone is treated fairly. They feel safe at school. If pupils are worried about something, they know that adults will help them. The school recognised that the ambition for all pupils to achieve to the best of their ability had to be raised. In most subjects, the high ambition is realised and most pupils achieve well across a range of subjects. Pupils access a variety of clubs, including a range of different sports, a choir and a mental health club. Pupils enjoy taking on leadership opportunities, including the school's junior leadership team, whose members help to plan events such as a magic show. Pastoral support for pupils is a strength of the school, ensuring that they receive tailored support as and when they need it.
What the school should improve
- The school has developed a plan for pupils' wider development, including enrichment experiences, educational visits and pupil leadership opportunities. However, this has not been fully implemented. Some pupils have not been provided with a rich set of experiences that help support their broader development. The school should ensure that pupils benefit from a rich range of experiences to help support their spiritual, moral, social and cultural development.
- Some pupils who have fallen behind with their reading and mathematics are not catching up quickly enough. They have gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that the quality of additional support pupils receive is effective to enable pupils to gain the skills they need to be well prepared for their next steps.
