What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Roseberry Academy is a happy and welcoming school. Pupils feel cared for and safe. Leaders describe the school as the 'Roseberry family'. This is evident in the positive and respectful relationships between teachers and pupils. One parent captured the views of many in praising the impact of teachers on her son, saying: 'The teachers have been brilliant, nurturing his strengths, encouraging him in participation and activities he would once have shied away from.' Pupils behave well because leaders have high expectations of their behaviour. Pupils, including children in the early years, respond positively to the clear routines and expectations that are in place. They are keen to learn and attentive in lessons. Pupils say that bullying does not happen often, but when it does, teachers deal with it very well. Pupils enjoy lots of enrichment opportunities across the curriculum. Clubs, such as chess, karate and choir, help to broaden and develop pupils' talents and interests. In weekly Roseberry Enrichment Activities and Learning sessions, pupils learn British Sign Language and how to administer first aid. Pupils comment that they enjoy and appreciate this opportunity to learn new skills. Pupils are proud to take on leadership roles through the student council and eco-council.
What the school should improve
- Although behaviour is good, the use of derogatory language by some older pupils is not sufficiently challenged. Leaders should do more to prevent the use of derogatory language and ensure pupils respect the protected characteristics.
- The targets, strategies and provision listed in pupils SEND plans are not specific enough. This means that some teachers are not clear on the strategies to use to best support particular pupils. Leaders should ensure that plans are precise, enabling pupils with SEND to achieve the best possible outcomes.
