What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 September 2024
Staff at Prospect School understand how to cater for the needs of pupils who attend the school. Each pupil receives a warm welcome when they arrive. Staff prioritise pupils' welfare and their feelings. It allows them to adjust the curriculum to meet pupils' needs. This helps them to be ready to learn. The school is ambitious. It has a broad and balanced curriculum that reflects its high expectations. Relationships between adults and pupils are extremely positive and help the school be calm and orderly. Pupils are polite and courteous towards each other. In the main, pupils behave well in lessons and during social times. They learn to recognise the importance of accepting differences between people. Pupils know that they can share any welfare concerns and always receive help to resolve them. Pupils enjoy different opportunities for wider learning. Staff take them to sporting events and outdoor activities. Their tutors regularly take pupils off site to parks and other public places, to help pupils build their self-esteem.
What the school should improve
- In some foundation subjects, the implementation of the curriculum is not fully secure. This means that, on occasion, pupils' knowledge and skills do not develop deeply over time. The school should continue with its plans to ensure that all teachers are able to deliver their ambitious curriculum precisely.
- School trips and activities are organised as opportunities arise. This means that they are not always related to the lessons that pupils are learning. The school needs to more thoughtfully consider and plan how additional trips and activities can reinforce and consolidate learning in the curriculum, so these experiences are not ad hoc.
