What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 June 2024
Pupils' well-being is placed at the heart of Peel Hall. They are greeted by staff with warmth and positivity from the moment that they arrive. Pupils, including children in the early years, spoke highly of the care and support that they receive. Pupils are very happy at this school. Pupils benefit from an ambitious curriculum. The school has strengthened pupils' learning in some subjects, including reading and mathematics, since the previous inspection. However, many other subject curriculums are not designed and delivered as well as they should be. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), do not achieve as well as they should. Pupils understand the school's well-established rules and routines. They behave well in lessons and at social times. For example, pupils line up beautifully in the dinner hall and respond quickly and politely to their teachers' requests. Pupils enjoy contributing to the school and to the wider community. They spoke proudly about their roles as pupil governors and how they look after the local environment as 'Peel protectors'. Pupils, including those with SEND, enjoy a range of extra-curricular activities such as football, tennis and gymnastics.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not clearly identify the knowledge that pupils should learn, or the order that this should be taught. This limits teachers' ability to help pupils to learn well. The school should ensure that the important knowledge that pupils will learn and the order that this should be taught is identified clearly.
- In some subjects, the school has not ensured that staff deliver the intended curriculum effectively. This hinders some pupils, including those with SEND, from learning as well as they should. The school should ensure that staff are suitably equipped to deliver the curriculum consistently well.
- In many subjects, the school has not established effective assessment systems to check pupils' learning. As a result, the school does not identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge sufficiently well. The school should ensure that all subjects have appropriate assessment systems that support teachers to identify and rectify gaps in pupils' knowledge effectively.
