What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 March 2024
Pupils are happy and well cared for at Royal Alexandra and Albert School. They benefit from positive relationships with staff across the school. Pupils feel safe, confident that if they report any concerns or worries they will be dealt with. Pupils are assured and articulate, even from the youngest ages. They talk with confidence to adults and visitors about their school and what makes it special. They engage with opportunities to lead and shape their school, such as in the school council, where they have a real say in what happens. In the past there have been some challenges around bullying and inappropriate language, but pupils report that this is now dealt with effectively by leaders. As one pupil explained 'they don't tolerate that kind of thing here'. Lessons are settled and engaging spaces for pupils to be absorbed by their learning. This supports pupils in achieving well. Pupils benefit from an exceptionally wide variety of opportunities to develop their skills and interests outside of their taught lessons. Clubs include a range of sports, creative writing, art, photography and allotment and gardening. Opportunities such as accessing the equestrian centre and engaging as members of the model United Nations are also on offer.
What the school should improve
- The school has not yet ensured that all staff have a consistently secure knowledge of how to meet the additional needs of pupils with SEND. In some lessons the support is not consistently strong. The school needs to continue its training for teachers to embed the practice of routine adaptations to learning so that all pupils can access their learning effectively.
- The school has instituted policies to support more consistent behaviour across the school which are having a demonstrable effect on conduct. However, these are still embedding and there is some variation in how consistently these are applied by some staff. The school needs to ensure that staff are supported in embedding this more consistently across the school.
