What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Quarry Mount is an extremely warm and welcoming place for all. The school has high expectations for what pupils learn and experience, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils consistently meet these expectations. Pupils are enthusiastic about their school. They look forward to coming to school each day. Pupils are happy and safe at the school. They take pride in leadership roles, such as serving on the school council. Pupils use these roles to make meaningful contributions to their school experience. This includes designing a mural with positive messages and organising school art competitions. The school uses a proactive and positive behaviour approach. This is consistently applied across all classrooms, creating a supportive and respectful learning environment. Behaviour throughout the school and at breaktimes is positive, with pupils showing consideration for their peers. Pupils develop a strong appreciation for tolerance, respect, and community. They are taught about fundamental British values, such as mutual respect. This is embodied at the school's international evening, where the school opens their doors to the community and pupils showcase and celebrate different cultures.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the school does not check the impact of the curriculum well enough. This means that gaps in pupils' understanding are not identified. The school should take further action to ensure that pupils' understanding is better checked across all subjects so that teaching can be adapted to address any gaps.
  • There is some variation in the quality of the school's curriculum to support pupils' personal, social and health education (PSHE). Pupils learning about healthy relationships is not as thorough as their learning about other themes that promote safety. The school should strengthen this aspect of the curriculum so that pupils learn consistently well across all aspects of the PSHE curriculum.
