What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 March 2023
Norbury School is a happy and vibrant learning community. Staff and pupils are committed to an ethos of care, respect and inclusion. Pupils are kind to each other and feel safe and well cared for. Staff and pupils are proud to be 'Norburians'. New pupils are welcomed into the community and helped to settle in. Leaders have high ambitions for every pupil. Pupils are helped to learn and develop from their different starting points. They participate with enthusiasm and are not afraid to take risks. They know this is how they will continue to learn and grow. Staff take care to get to know pupils and their families. As a result, pupils make good progress over time, including those with complex needs. Leaders set high expectations for behaviour. Pupils are encouraged to be the best they can be and are supported to do so. Pupils learn to take responsibility for their actions and behave exceptionally well in lessons and around the school. Pupils have a voice and enjoy contributing to key decisions about their school. They understand their role as citizens and value diversity. They enjoy celebrating success at their weekly assemblies. Pupils say bullying is very rare and dealt with quickly and effectively.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have implemented several significant changes to the curriculum over the past year. While staff recognise the benefits of these changes, they have required additional work for some staff to ensure the appropriate systems and practices are in place. Leaders should ensure there is sufficient time to embed the new changes, with time for reflection and review.
- The governing body is highly supportive of the school. However, many governors are new. They do not currently have sufficient training and expertise to provide the necessary challenge to leaders in some areas. Those responsible for governance should continue to prioritise training for new governors so they are well informed and can hold leaders to account for their work appropriately.
