What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 April 2024
Pupils love the welcoming atmosphere at Park View Academy. The excellent relationships that they have with one another make the school a happy place to be. The high expectations that the school sets for pupils' learning help to ensure that they achieve well in subjects across the curriculum. From the outset, children in the early years settle quickly and develop curiosity and an enjoyment of learning. Pupils across the school are equally motivated to learn. Pupils are guided well to manage their own behaviour, particularly those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, their conduct around school is exemplary. Older pupils relish the prestigious leadership roles that are available. These pupils make a marked difference to the behaviour and wellbeing of others, such as through their roles as play leaders at break times. Pupils are proud of their school and have a strong sense of belonging. They enjoy debating current affairs with their peers and value others' views and opinions. In turn, they feel respected and accepted for who they are. Pupils delight in seeing each other praised for their efforts in their weekly celebration assemblies.
What the school should improve
- In a small number of subjects, including in the early years, the assessment of pupils' learning is not refined enough to help staff to identify where some pupils have forgotten key learning over time. As such, there are gaps in pupils' understanding between one topic and the next. The school should ensure that there are checks in place to gauge pupils' long-term retention of key subject knowledge so that staff can reinforce pupils' learning more effectively.
