What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 May 2023
This school is described by parents, carers and pupils as being the hub at the heart of its community. Staff are out in the playground every morning to welcome pupils into the school. They check that pupils are ready for the day ahead. Pupils feel safe, happy and well looked after at this school. Pupils recognise the woodland to be a unique feature of the school. This is a large, organised area where pupils can learn outdoors. Pupils enjoy putting on productions in the amphitheatre. Pupils wear their captain and commendation badges with pride. They enjoy talking about their achievements and how they can earn team points. Pupils from different year groups get on well together. Older pupils often support and play with those who are younger than them. The school has a distinct and inclusive family ethos. All these things and more is what pupils say make them a 'Ramsdonian' pupil. The school is calm and orderly. Teachers have high expectations. Pupils are polite and respectful. Parents hold highly positive views of the education provided by the school. Many feel that staff at this school truly live by the school motto, 'Your kids are our kids'.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders have not clearly identified the essential knowledge and skills they want all pupils to learn. Some teachers do not teach these with precision and some pupils do not learn this knowledge well enough. Leaders must ensure they identify the essential knowledge and skills that they want pupils to know and remember in these subjects.
- Not enough time and training has been given for some subject leaders to monitor the impact of the curriculum. As a result, some foundation subjects are not securely and consistently delivered across all year groups. Leaders must ensure that enough time and training is given to subject leads to monitor the impact of the curriculum.
- Leaders must ensure that opportunities for pupils to develop spiritual and cultural understanding are as of high quality as the rest of the personal development offer.
