What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 16 October 2024
Ravenscroft's 'heart' values of honesty, enjoyment, achievement, respect and talent are lived out in all aspects of the school's daily life. Pupils know how these values guide and support them to make kind and respectful choices. Pupils behave exceedingly well. They are proud to be part of this school, where they feel happy and safe. Pupils do their best to live up to the high expectations that the school sets for their achievement. They are enthusiastic and keen to learn. This is reflected in the high quality of their work. Most pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve well. A wide range of opportunities is available to pupils to help develop their talents and interests. Pupils enjoy a variety of trips to places of interest. Such trips help to bring the curriculum to life. The school provides a broad range of clubs such as choir, fitness and eco gardening, together with opportunities to represent the school at sporting events. Pupils eagerly take on leadership roles. School councillors, reading buddies and play leaders make meaningful contributions to school life. Pupils develop their confidence and leadership skills in these valued roles.
What the school should improve
- In a small minority of subjects, the school has not ensured that the steps of knowledge are clearly identified and sequenced. This means that some pupils do not build logically on what they already know. The school should ensure that these subject curriculums are further refined so that staff are clear about the essential knowledge that pupils should learn and the order in which to learn it.
- A small number of pupils in key stage 2 do not receive the appropriate intervention they need to catch up quickly in reading. This hinders how well some of these pupils develop their reading fluency. The school should ensure that the support given to pupils who have gaps in their reading knowledge enables them to catch up with their peers as quickly as possible.
