What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 27 January 2026

At Park Hill, pupils are welcomed warmly by caring staff each morning. Pupils live the school’s 'REACH values' - respect, empathy, ambition, cooperation and health. Pupils are keen to attend and learn. They show positive attitudes to their learning. Staff have highly effective relationships with pupils. As a result, pupils feel safe. Bullying is not common. Pupils know that staff will respond quickly to any concern. Inclusion is at the forefront of everything that pupils experience. Teaching and wider activities are adapted so pupils who face barriers can participate in every aspect of school life. This includes for those who are disadvantaged or vulnerable. Those with special educational needs and/or disabilities also get the help they require. Pupils sometimes do not achieve well. That said, the curriculum they learn is improving. It secures the necessary foundations in reading and mathematics. Pupils talk confidently about their work. They show pride in their achievements. Despite this, pupils do not have consistent opportunities to write across the curriculum to deepen and apply their knowledge. Pupils belong to a respectful and inclusive community. The school celebrates everyone. Pupils behave well. They follow routines throughout the school day. Those who are new to the school feel they belong to the school community. Children in the early years settle quickly. They enjoy their learning experiences. The school is calm and orderly. Attendance is ‘everyone’s responsibility’. Families help ensure pupils have regular attendance. Pupils get the timely support they need if they are absent. As a result, pupils typically attend better over time. Pupils enjoy the range of trips, clubs and experiences that the school offers. They have opportunities to develop their leadership skills. Pupils carry out their roles of responsibility with pride. They are well prepared for life in modern Britain.

What the school should improve

  • Leaders should ensure that teaching fully maximises opportunities for pupils to write across the curriculum, promoting consistently high standards and outcomes in writing. • Leaders should ensure that staff use assessment consistently well across the curriculum to enhance and deepen pupils’ knowledge and skills.
