What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 March 2023
Reaside Academy is a friendly, welcoming school where pupils are happy and safe. Leaders are aspirational and want the best for every pupil. Leaders do all they can to make sure that pupils attend school regularly. For example, 'Mondays Matter' and 'Enrichment Fridays' develop pupils' curiosity and excitement about learning. Pupils want to come to school and enjoy their lessons. The teaching of reading is at the heart of the curriculum. It is well taught by highly skilled staff. They ensure that pupils have the knowledge and skills they need to read well. This means that they achieve well and enjoy reading. Leaders set high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Pupils meet these expectations. Incidents of poor behaviour are rare. Leaders take pupils' concerns seriously. They deal with incidents of bullying effectively. Leaders establish effective relationships with parents and carers. Parents are extremely positive about the quality of education that their children receive. They value the range of information and support that leaders provide. This helps them to support their children at home with reading, healthy lifestyles and behaviour management techniques. Pupils enjoy the variety of trips, clubs and visits on offer. This helps them to broaden their horizons.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, for example art and design, staff's confidence to deliver the curriculum is not strong. This means that pupils do not learn some subject content in sufficient depth. Leaders should support staff to develop the knowledge and skills to teach these subjects with greater competence and confidence, in order to improve the quality of pupils' learning in these subjects.
- Leaders identify pupils with SEND swiftly and provide appropriate support. However, they do not check carefully enough on the progress these pupils are making, which limits how well they can plan and refine next steps in their learning. This means that pupils with SEND do not make as much progress as they could. Leaders should strengthen their checks on how well these pupils are learning so that all pupils with SEND are supported to achieve as well as possible.
