What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 April 2023
Pupils are happy at North Nibley. The school's vision to inspire and celebrate learning, achievement, faith and fun shines through its work. Parents say that staff are committed and that pupils feel a strong sense of belonging. Leaders are ambitious for every pupil. Staff meet pupils' individual needs, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Consequently, North Nibley is a place where pupils thrive. Leaders have created an environment where behaving well is the norm. Pupils are courteous. They are motivated in their learning. Bullying rarely occurs. When it does, staff address it quickly. Pupils are caring and charitable. They show this with their work in the local area, such as serving food at the community kitchen. Pupils appreciate the many opportunities provided to them. They take part in sports tournaments and trips to the pantomime. There are many clubs, including cross-stitch, drawing, rounders and football. Pupils enjoy responsibilities such as play shed monitors, buddies to Reception children and school councillors. These clubs and responsibilities widen pupils' interests.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not identified the key knowledge pupils need to learn. In these subjects, some pupils' knowledge is not as well developed as others. Leaders must identify the essential knowledge they want pupils to learn in all subjects.
- In mathematics, there are inconsistencies in how well some pupils are supported to problem-solve and reason. As a result, not all pupils deepen their knowledge and understanding of mathematical concepts well. Leaders need to ensure that all staff have the expertise to support pupils to reason and problem-solve successfully.
