What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 28 March 2023
Leaders have high ambitions for pupils, and this is reflected in the quality of work that pupils produce. Alongside their academic work, pupils appreciate the opportunity to experience a wide range of sports. For instance, they talk about the 'taster sessions' in fencing, archery, golf and basketball, which they thoroughly enjoyed taking part in. Leaders set high expectations for pupils' behaviour, both in and out of the classroom, and pupils rise to meet these well. They are polite to each other, listening to what other people have to say and responding with kindness. Such values are part of the 'Ryefield School Creed', which underpins the school's approach to developing pupils' character. Pupils are happy and feel safe in this school. They trust the adults who work with them. School records show that bullying of any type is rare, and pupils confirm this. If bullying does happen, staff deal with it quickly. The actions that they take are usually effective in preventing it from happening again. Pupils are proud to be part of an inclusive school. All pupils have access to clubs and wider opportunities. Many pupils have represented the school in a range of extra- curricular activities, such as sports competitions and debating sessions.
What the school should improve
- Published outcomes from 2022 show that some pupils did not make enough progress through the reading curriculum by the end of Year 6. As a result, they did not achieve the expected standard in reading, which impacts on their readiness for the next phase of education. Leaders should fully embed the plans and strategies they have introduced this year to prioritise the teaching, assessment and review of early reading across the school.
- Sometimes, teachers do not model the use of a particular strategy or technique to solve a problem or perform a task well enough. This means that some pupils are not well acquainted with the individual steps they might take to tackle a problem. Leaders should ensure that all teachers have the knowledge and skills to model effective approaches for solving multi-step problems or performing a challenging task.
