What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 4 December 2024
Pupils really enjoy everything this school has to offer. They describe Reay as a welcoming and friendly place where everyone knows each other. Pupils are happy and safe here. Staff make sure that pupils are very well cared for. Relationships throughout the school are positive and empowering. Pupils work hard in lessons and try their best. They rise to the high expectations set for them and achieve well. Pupils' good behaviour helps everyone to enjoy their learning. Pupils show high levels of respect and kindness to others. The school's focus on supporting pupils' all-round development is a key strength. Pupils benefit from a rich and impressive range of experiences that inspire them to learn about themselves and others. Older pupils particularly enjoy the chance to visit Spain, where they get to put their learning in Spanish into action. These opportunities help to foster pupils' independence, teamwork and knowledge of the world around them. The school's provision for the creative arts is especially strong. Pupils learn to play at least three musical instruments. They visit art galleries, theatres and opera houses, where they not only learn from others but also perform to audiences.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, there are inconsistencies in how well the curriculum is implemented. Sometimes, the activities which pupils complete are not aligned well to the curriculum intentions or pupils' individual needs. Occasionally, activities do not build well on what pupils already know and can do. These inconsistencies affect how well some pupils build their knowledge in these subjects. Where this is the case, the school should ensure that the curriculum is implemented consistently well and that pupils' subject knowledge builds securely over time.
- Changes to governance over the past year have led to some inconsistencies in how well the governing body has supported and held leaders to account. This has reduced the effectiveness of some aspects of the governing body's work. The school should ensure that it continues to strengthen the way in which the governing body provides strategic oversight and direction.
