What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 October 2022
Pupils at Ramnoth Junior School are well prepared for the next stage of their education, academically and socially. Expectations of pupils are high. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), show respect and understanding of the wider community the school serves. Pupils enjoy the wide offer of first-hand experiences that complement the interesting and varied curriculum. For example, a recent visit to an air museum helped pupils recall historical facts, while a visit to photograph the wetlands provided ideas for pupils' artwork. Careful planning and delivery of these experiences helps pupils to remember important knowledge and skills. Pupils behave well and enjoy taking on extra responsibilities. This includes helping younger pupils and showing visitors around the school. Pupils are very friendly. Bullying is rare but if it does happen adults respond quickly to sort things out, so pupils feel safe. They use the 'worry box' or talk to trusted adults if they have any worries. Through debates, pupils learn to listen to one another's views, sharing their own ideas respectfully. Pupils make decisions, for example, about how to help families affected by the war in Ukraine and whether to donate to charities locally.
What the school should improve
- Although safeguarding is effective and pupils are kept safe, records relating to pupils' behaviour and welfare are not cross-referenced as well as they could be. This makes it harder for leaders to identify and put in place additional help to benefit pupils quickly. Leaders should streamline how they and staff capture records relating to pupils' behaviour and welfare. They must ensure the system focuses on staff recording incidents in a way that leaders can more efficiently monitor the information, so that support for pupils is accessed as quickly as possible.
- On occasion, teachers deviate from or misunderstand leaders' clear curriculum plans. Pupils then complete activities that are not the most effective in helping them learn the important knowledge they need to know. Leaders should ensure all staff have the subject and pedagogical knowledge to teach the curriculum confidently and well.
