What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 31 January 2024

Pearl Hyde is a school that serves its community with pride. The school is inclusive and welcoming. It provides a good education for pupils. The curriculum is ambitious. All pupils access the full breadth of the recently revised curriculum. Teachers promote the school ethos and 'Pearl' values of perseverance, excellence, acceptance, respect and leadership. Pupils confidently explain what the values mean in their everyday school life. They are kind to each other. Pupils learn to reflect on their behaviour and think of others. They say that they feel safe and happy in school. Pupils are keen to take on responsibilities, such as members of the Pearl Hyde parliament and representatives on many different committees in school. They are active members of the school and local community, for example running a marathon during their lunchtimes to raise money for a cancer charity. Leaders provide a strong, clear vision for the school. There is a positive team morale in school. All staff are working together to provide pupils with a creative and ambitious education.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the most important knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn and remember are not always clear. As a result, pupils have gaps in their knowledge and understanding. The school should ensure that the most important knowledge and skills are identified and prioritised during lessons so that pupils achieve well.
  • Systems to check on what pupils know and can remember are stronger in some subjects than in others. Consequently, assessment in some foundation subjects is not as informative as it could be in shaping the next steps in learning. The school should ensure that assessment is focused and effective in helping pupils to deepen their learning.
