What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 October 2023
This is a welcoming and inclusive school. Staff and pupils feel part of the Rawdon St Peter's 'family'. Relationships between staff and pupils are warm, respectful and supportive. This helps pupils to be safe and happy in school. The school is highly ambitious for what pupils can achieve. Despite pupils achieving well, the school is constantly seeking ways in which to improve pupils' experiences and outcomes. Pupils behave well in lessons and at playtimes. Leaders deal with rare instances of bullying swiftly and decisively. Pupils are clear about the school's values of love and friendship, honesty, endurance, thankfulness and fairness. The school provides pupils with a wide range of opportunities to take on responsibility through leadership roles. These roles include peer mediators, who help to resolve problems at playtimes. School councillors help discuss and bring forward initiatives to improve the school. Sports councillors help to promote active and healthy play. Pupils welcome these opportunities that prepare them well for later life. Pupils are well prepared for life in modern Britain. They understand about prejudice and the protected characteristics such as sexual orientation or gender. They have learned about a range of different faiths. They insist that anyone would be welcome at their school.
What the school should improve
- The next steps that pupils with SEND need to make are not outlined in their support plans well. Leaders are not able to accurately track the progress that these pupils make. The school needs to ensure that the small steps in learning that pupils with SEND need to make are agreed with their parents and carers and outlined in their individual support plans.
- The curriculum is not fully embedded in all subjects. As a result, pupils do not develop consistently a secure understanding of the essential knowledge they need to make progress. Leaders need to ensure that the curriculum is embedded across the school so that pupils develop a deeper knowledge over time.
