What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 February 2022
Pupils enjoy coming to school. They get on well with each other, and older pupils look out for younger pupils. They enjoy each other's company, especially at playtimes. One pupil summed this up when they said, 'We're pretty much all friends here.' Pupils rise to meet the expectations adults set for them. Pupils behave well in school and in the playground. Some pupils need extra help with their behaviour, and they get this from adults. The school is a calm and orderly place to be. Pupils feel safe because adults keep them safe. Pupils and adults get on well. There is a culture of mutual respect. Pupils know that if they have a problem there is always an adult who will listen to them and help them. Although pupils say that bullying doesn't really happen, they know what it is and what to do if it ever does. Although Rockland St Mary is a small school, pupils get big opportunities. They love taking part in sporting events and singing in public and, more recently, enjoyed a trip to the circus. Pupils, and their parents, appreciate the opportunities leaders provide.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have designed an ambitious curriculum and have identified the key knowledge that pupils will learn and the order in which they will learn it. In a small number of subjects, the implementation of the plans has been delayed due to the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, pupils do not currently learn as much in some subjects as leaders intend. Leaders must ensure curriculum plans are implemented in all subjects across the school, which will allow pupils to deepen their knowledge in all areas of the curriculum.
