What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 November 2024
Oasis Academy Connaught is a friendly and inclusive school. Staff greet pupils warmly in the morning in breakfast club or at the school gate. Throughout the day, pupils benefit from the kindness shown to them by staff. As a result, pupils are happy and enjoy school. They know adults will help them if they have any worries. The school is an important part of the community. Positive relationships are a high priority for the school. From the moment pupils start, they are encouraged to be caring and kind. Pupils sometimes join the school mid-year. Each new pupil gets the help they need to settle in swiftly. The school has high expectations for all pupils' achievement, but they are not yet realised. The school recognises that the way the curriculum is taught requires strengthening and has made a positive start. However, there is more to do to ensure that the quality of education that pupils receive is good. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. They are trusted to carry out important roles around the school and, through these, develop a sense of responsibility. For example, they act as anti-bullying champions and playtime helpers.
What the school should improve
- The way in which the curriculum is taught does not always support pupils to reach the intended curriculum goals. Important knowledge is not made explicit. Therefore, pupils do not build coherent knowledge. The school should ensure that teachers have the expertise to teach the curriculum in the way that it intends.
- The checks made on pupils learning are not sufficiently precise. Consequently, pupils develop gaps in knowledge. The school should ensure that assessment is used to inform future curriculum design and implementation.
