What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 June 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to Sandhurst school. The strong sense of community is shaped by the values underpinning the school's work. Pupils know and understand these values, and spoke about how they inspire them to try hard, both in and out of school. Staff know pupils well, building strong relationships in which everyone is valued. Pupils are proud of their happy and inclusive school, where respect and kindness are part of their daily lives. Leaders, including governors, are ambitious for all pupils to achieve well. The curriculum is engaging, aspirational and reflects the different backgrounds of pupils at this diverse school. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), are proud of their high-quality work and enjoy talking about what they have learned. Pupils behave well, both in and out of lessons. They are polite, courteous and are keen to talk to visitors. They know what good behaviour is and strong school systems help them reflect on what they could do better if anything goes wrong. Pupils are kept safe. They said that they can talk to any member of staff if they have a problem. Bullying is rare, but if it does happen, adults are quick to sort it out.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, assessments are not consistently giving the school clear and useful information about what pupils know and can do. In these subjects, teaching does not make use of assessment information to identify and fill gaps in pupils' knowledge as effectively as it could. This can affect the quality of the school's work to ensure that pupils make progress through the curriculum. The school should refine how pupils' learning is checked so that pupils can be better supported to know more and remember more in these subjects.
