What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 September 2022
Pupils told inspectors that that they feel safe at Oasis Academy Temple. They said that adults look after them well, such as when they are enjoying themselves on the playground. Pupils explained that they trust their teachers to help them if they have any worries. Pupils understand what leaders and teachers expect of them. They know that they must work as hard as they can. Pupils do their best to live up to these expectations. This helps most pupils to do well in their learning. Pupils understand the school's behaviour rules well and the large majority of pupils follow them. They know that their teachers want them to be on their best behaviour as often as they can. Some pupils occasionally misbehave, but teachers manage these incidents effectively. There is very little disruption that stops pupils from learning in class. Bullying does not happen often. When it does, pupils made it clear that staff are quick to deal with it successfully. Pupils appreciate the many activities that they can participate in at school. For example, they can go to after-school clubs where they can learn a range of skills, from crocheting to playing basketball. Pupils said that they like the school because everyone is different but everyone is equal.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, pupils do not build their knowledge as well as elsewhere. This is because subject content is not sequenced carefully enough or is not currently being delivered effectively. Leaders must ensure that the curriculum is organised and delivered effectively to enable pupils to know and remember more in all subjects.
- A small number of pupils in key stage 1 find their reading books too difficult to read. This is because their books do not match their phonics knowledge closely enough. As a result, these pupils do not read with enough fluency. Leaders should ensure that pupils' books carefully match their phonics knowledge.
