What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 15 February 2023
Pupils love coming to Rodborough. They say that the pupils are kind, friendly and welcoming. Pupils learn how to socialise very well. For example, Year 6 pupils are 'buddies' to the children in Reception and help them settle into school. Pupils' behaviour in lessons and around the school is very positive. Pupils state that bullying is not an issue at the school, and if they have any concerns, teachers resolve them. Pupils learn the routines of school very well. Children in Reception learn to take turns while pupils in all year groups listen respectfully to the ideas of others. Pupils learn about the importance of citizenship. For instance, pupils vote for a Prime Minister and deputy Prime Minister for the pupil parliament. Pupils take their roles in the pupil parliament extremely seriously. They have worked with the local community to select play equipment for the park. Pupils have many opportunities to enrich their learning about the world through clubs, trips and visitors to the school. Leaders have planned the trips carefully to enrich pupils' learning of the curriculum. Pupils learn about the industrial history of Stroud through visits to the canal. They also learn about Roman history through visits to local sites of interest.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not support pupils well enough to build on what they have learned before. This means that pupils do not have sufficiently well- embedded knowledge before moving on to more complex concepts. Leaders must ensure that all subjects are consistently well planned to enable pupils to learn successfully.
