What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 March 2023
Roman Road is a good school. It has improved since the previous inspection in July 2022. Pupils enjoy a well-balanced curriculum. Staff ensure that strong emotional and mental health support for pupils underpins their learning. Pupils feel safe and are clear that behaviour has improved since the last inspection. Leaders have strengthened their work with families, pupils and the community. This has helped staff to address worries and issues that pupils may face. A calm, purposeful atmosphere that is tolerant of individual needs permeates the school. Staff listen to pupils' views and include them in changes they make, such as the recent changes to all subject curriculums. The new structured lessons on personal, social and health education (PSHE) inform pupils about a range of relevant issues. These include healthy relationships and staying safe. Pupils are confident and call out inappropriate behaviour. While bullying is rare, pupils are clear that it is unacceptable, and staff deal with it if it arises. Pupils enjoy the wider opportunities they have at school. For example, they enjoy the various sports clubs, visits to a local place of worship and the educational visit to the open-air Beamish Museum. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND).
What the school should improve
- Staff do not use checks on pupils' learning as well as they should. Teaching is not always addressing gaps in pupils' knowledge. As a result, developing and embedding knowledge over time is not secure for some pupils. Leaders need to strengthen the use of assessment information and provide teachers with support so they have the expertise to use assessment effectively.
- Teaching does not always help pupils to connect new learning to the content they have already been taught. As a result, some pupils struggle to recall knowledge and make important links across different subject areas. Leaders should ensure that when new knowledge is taught, staff integrate it effectively into the larger curriculum ideas that are set out.
