What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
Pupils are happy and confident learners at Ombersley. Pupils are welcomed into a nurturing and inclusive environment. They feel valued and well-cared for. There is a tangible sense of warmth and belonging. Most pupils achieve well. Pupils are proud of their school and behave well. Relationships are respectful and pupils interact kindly with each other. Pupils hold doors open for adults and for each other. They demonstrate their values of 'be ready, safe and respectful'. Pupils' individual needs are very well supported here, including the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff have a secure understanding of pupils' barriers to learning. As a result, most pupils needs are met very well. The school pays serious attention to pupils' mental health and well-being. Staff are quick to act on concerns and work closely with families and external services to support pupils' pastoral care. Pupils know how to stay safe, both online and in the community. The school invites professionals to speak to pupils about keeping safe when enjoying the canal in their local area. Pupils enjoy a broad curriculum with exciting clubs, visits and leadership opportunities. For example, pupils particularly enjoy their residential visits and trips to the theatre.
What the school should improve
- The school has not clearly identified the essential knowledge and skills that children need to learn across the early years. As a result, learning does not consistently build on what children already know and can do in order to prepare them for Year 1. The school should ensure the early years curriculum clearly defines what children should learn and by when.
- Staff in the early years do not always implement the curriculum well enough to support pupils' learning. Learning activities provide pupils with interesting experiences but do not always build effectively on what pupils know and can do. This limits pupils' learning. The school should ensure that the work teachers give to pupils precisely identifies the important knowledge and skills and enables them to build on their learning.
