What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 October 2023
Pupils happily attend this friendly and inclusive school. They are looked after by their friends and by caring adults who know them well. A positive and respectful culture threads through everything that the school does. Every pupil is an important member of the school family and takes an active role in contributing to the school community. Pupils benefit from a good quality of education. In many subjects, the school's ambition for pupils to flourish is realised. Pupils embrace every learning opportunity. Pupils' knowledge and skills are often impressive, particularly in the creative subjects such as art. Pupils' behaviour is exceptionally positive. This is the result of their understanding of important concepts such as the need to respect others who may be different to them. Pupils support each other to maintain the high standards that the school has set for their behaviour and conduct. Pupils embrace the wider opportunities that the school arranges for them. Some have leadership roles such as safety councillors, while others are reading buddies. Older pupils are enjoying working through the different challenges that are set as part of the Queenswood Award. All pupils enjoy the music offer and delight in taking part in performances.
What the school should improve
- There are not enough early reading books that are matched well to the sounds that pupils have been taught. Early readers do not develop reading fluency quickly enough. The school should ensure that pupils who are at an early stage of reading read books that are matched precisely to their knowledge of phonics.
- In a few subjects, some of the important knowledge that pupils should learn has not been clearly identified. Teachers do not plan regular opportunities for pupils to return to this information over time. Consequently, pupils have gaps in their knowledge. The school should ensure that pupils have the opportunity to revisit this key information and learn equally well in all subjects.
- Teachers do not have a clear overview of what pupils have learned in earlier key stages. This means that there are missed opportunities to ensure that new learning has the right level of ambition and builds from what pupils already know. The school should ensure that teachers are aware of what pupils' prior knowledge is in all subjects so that they make rapid progress.
