What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 24 May 2022
Rickley Park is a vibrant place of learning. Pupils thrive in this happy and caring school. Leaders are very ambitious for the pupils and set high expectations for learning. Pupils behave well in lessons and during playtimes. They are friendly and kind to each other. They feel safe in school and well supported by adults. Pupils have many opportunities to develop their social and emotional skills, for example by attending the 'Castle Club' at playtimes. Older pupils encourage reluctant pupils to play with their peers at playtime. Pupils say that bullying is not a problem. However, they are confident that a staff member would deal with it immediately if it happened. Pupils enjoy taking part in a range of sports during their breaks. Staff lead these activities, which are aimed at helping pupils maintain fitness and developing their enjoyment of sport. Leaders give a childhood pledge to each pupil through a 'passport to success' scheme. This allows pupils to access a wide range of activities throughout their time at the school. These include participating in forest school, sports and arts events and attending a residential visit. Pupils enjoy and look forward to the weekly assemblies, where they celebrate their work and personal achievements.
What the school should improve
- The revised curriculum, other than in English and mathematics, has yet to be implemented fully. This means that pupils have not completely benefited from the improvements in subject content or the more logical sequencing of learning. Leaders need to fully implement the revised curriculum so that they are better informed about the impact this curriculum is having on pupils' learning.
- Leaders are in the early stages of developing assessment in subjects other than English and mathematics. They do not sufficiently understand how pupils understand and learn the curriculum over time. Leaders need to strengthen existing assessment practices to be more informed about the impact the whole curriculum is having on pupils' learning.
