What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 February 2024
Rosedale Primary is a school which has undergone a period of rapid transformation since joining the trust in 2022. It is a place of learning that provides a warm, welcoming and purposeful environment for all of its pupils. Pupils develop positive relationships with the adults who care for them. They are happy and safe at school. Pupils form strong habits for learning from the start. In Nursery and Reception, children benefit from clear routines. They display high levels of concentration in their work and play. As pupils move into the main school, behaviour in lessons and around school is calm. Leaders recognise that some pupils need extra help to manage their emotions. Staff do this in a sensitive way and guide pupils back to learning as quickly as possible. Pupils are respectful towards their peers, staff and visitors. The school supports pupils' academic knowledge and their wider development. Leaders have high expectations of what pupils at Rosedale can and should achieve. They recognise that previous outcomes for pupils have not consistently met their high ambitions. New leaders have taken swift action to improve this.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects that have recently been refined, there is not enough emphasis on ensuring that pupils acquire the key knowledge that they need to prepare them well for subsequent learning. Therefore, there are gaps in pupils' understanding in these subjects. The school should identify and deliver the key knowledge that pupils need across all subject areas.
- Systems to check pupils' understanding in lessons are not consistent. This means that staff are not fully clear about what pupils know and understand. As a result, some pupils are not given sufficient opportunities to practise or consolidate their learning. The school should ensure that systems for checking what pupils know, understand and remember are used consistently well across year groups.
