What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Pupils are happy and safe at this welcoming school. They listen well in lessons and focus positively on their learning. If pupils have a problem, they know that they can talk to a trusted adult or report it in the 'worry box' that is available in every classroom. Staff deal with any issues straightaway. Pupils behave exceptionally well in classrooms and around school. They understand and apply the 'Oakdale Charter' to develop respect, reflection, resilience, resourcefulness, and responsibility. Pupils are proud of the ways they contribute to the school. For example, in their roles as sports leaders they help younger children on sports day. The school is ambitious for pupils to achieve well in a wide range of subjects. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are supported by staff to do their best. As a result, by the time they move to the next stage of education, most pupils achieve well. The school also provides an exemplary range of enriching activities for pupils' personal development. Pupils attend clubs, both at lunchtime and after school, including gardening, taekwondo, and drama. They learn about different faiths and enjoy a cultural day, when they teach others about their own heritage and culture.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the school has not identified precisely the important content it wants pupils to learn over time. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could in these subjects. The school should ensure the curriculum in all subjects is well-sequenced and coherent so that teachers know exactly what pupils should learn and can identify and address any gaps in pupils' understanding effectively.
