What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 June 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They are safe and well cared for by staff who know them and their families very well. Leaders and staff share high ambitions for all pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils are encouraged to talk about their feelings which helps them to apply themselves to their learning. This is a happy and welcoming school where everyone is valued and supported to achieve their best. Right from the start of early years, pupils benefit from a broad and interesting curriculum. Leaders and staff ensure that all pupils achieve well and enjoy learning the engaging curriculum. Pupils know the school values and try hard to follow them. They behave well in lessons and in the playground. Staff care deeply about pupils' well-being. Staff are always on the lookout for signs that a pupil might need help, support, or simply cheering up. Bullying has vastly reduced over time and if on the rare occasion it happens, staff deal with it swiftly and effectively. Exciting things happen at Rangefield to help enhance the ambitious curriculum. For example, pupils go to sing at national music venues and design costumes with well- known fashion colleges. Pupils show great kindness, including, for example, when they take care of the school rabbits.
What the school should improve
- While staff have implemented a carefully considered curriculum to meet the needs of all pupils, leaders' systems to check the impact of the provision on pupils with SEND are not fully established. Leaders now need to ensure that rigorous systems are embedded to check how well pupils with SEND are learning. This will ensure that staff have a precise, regular overview of the impact of their work on pupils' learning, so that they can continue to evolve and adapt their practice to meet the needs of individual pupils.
- Highly skilled governors from a range of backgrounds and with a range of expertise have been recruited. However, the makeup of the governing body does not currently include parent representation. Leaders should realise their plans to recruit parent governors so that parents' viewpoints can be used as part of the school's strategic development.
