What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 April 2025
At Rokeby School, pupils are well supported to succeed. Pupils embrace the school's values and are expected to 'dare to be the best'. They are committed to their learning and take pride in their work. Pupils typically achieve well, including in national examinations. Staff have very high expectations. The school prides itself on the excellent relationships between pupils and staff. Staff know their pupils well, and pupils know who to talk to if they have any concerns. Pupils show exceptionally positive attitudes towards their learning. Disruption to lessons is rare and never tolerated, so pupils learn without distraction. The school encourages pupils to celebrate difference and engage positively when learning about the beliefs and opinions of others. Pupils benefit from an exceptional enrichment offer. The school provides numerous, varied opportunities to nurture, develop and stretch pupils' talents and interests. For example, pupils can take part in gardening, music and dance and a wide range of competitive sports. Pupils also enthusiastically embrace roles of responsibility, which help to develop their leadership skills. For instance, pupils act as mentors, school ambassadors and student council representatives. They relish these opportunities to support the school and the wider community.
What the school should improve
- At times, some teachers do not use suitable strategies to identify and address misconceptions effectively. This means that some pupils develop gaps in their knowledge that are unaddressed. The school should ensure that these staff have the expertise they need so that pupils' understanding is checked consistently well.
- The curriculum is not consistently well adapted for some pupils with SEND. This means that pupils sometimes struggle to access the ambitious curriculum that is intended. The school should ensure that all pupils with SEND are fully supported to access the intended learning.
