What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Redhill is a caring and nurturing school where pupils feel safe. Pupils are respectful and tolerant of everyone. They make friends easily. Despite over 22 languages being spoken, pupils say, 'It does not matter what language you speak, we learn to communicate and we are all friends.' Pupils are happy in school and their behaviour is excellent. Leaders ensure that pupils are taught how to behave from the moment they start school. Children from the Reception class and beyond learn how to be kind to each other and they are. Pupils are enthusiastic learners. Low-level or off-task behaviour is very rare because pupils want to learn. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils rise to these expectations. They work hard and are proud of their achievements. This was evident in the way that pupils wanted to share their learning with inspectors. Pupils relish the various roles and responsibilities that they are given. For example, digital leaders support teachers to educate other pupils about keeping safe online, while play leaders organise and run activities for other pupils at lunchtime.
What the school should improve
- In a few foundation subjects, it is not clear precisely what knowledge pupils should be taught. This means that pupils do not always learn the knowledge and skills that leaders intend. Leaders should identify the precise knowledge and skills that pupils must learn, from Reception to Year 6, in these subjects.
- Some of the activities that teachers choose do not always support pupils to deepen their learning. This means that pupils do not always gain sufficient insight into some aspects of their academic work. Leaders need to ensure that staff deliver activities that help pupils to learn in sufficient depth.
- Governors do not have a strategic enough role in monitoring leaders' actions to improve the quality of the education across the school. As a result, governors do not have a sufficiently clear understanding of what is working well and what could improve, in respect of the curriculum. Governors need to ensure that they develop their strategic understanding and effectively monitor the impact of leaders' actions on school improvement.
