What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 12 November 2024

Pupils love their school. They speak enthusiastically about their lessons and their teachers. They strive to live out the 'Redland Rs' that identify the characteristics the school wants pupils to develop. Pupils are diligent, confident and respectful. They are optimistic about their future. They say that they want to be fashion designers, psychiatrists, actors and kickboxing teachers. The school is ambitious that all pupils will achieve well. Pupils meet these expectations. This ambition extends well beyond academic success. The school's vision is that every pupil will be well prepared for later life. Pupils' personal development is a great strength of the school. Pupils learn to behave well. This good work begins in the early years, where children quickly learn school routines and how to get on well with each other. Across the school, pupils trust their teachers will always be there to help them if they have a problem. The school is a close-knit community. It has built positive relationships with pupils and their families. Parents value the support their children receive. Many comment about the kindness and approachability of staff. Pupils, parents and staff agree the school is a safe and happy place.

What the school should improve

  • The school has recently reviewed a number of subjects in the wider curriculum. While these set out what pupils will learn, more time is needed for leaders to assure themselves that pupils are benefitting from the changes that have been made in some subjects. The school should ensure that each new curriculum is successfully embedded and implemented well to help pupils know and remember more of the intended curriculum.
  • Sometimes, the independent tasks that children are given in the early years do not effectively support the intended learning. Children do not consistently have the opportunity to sufficiently practise and rehearse their learning. At times, they complete tasks and are not directed to move on to new learning quickly enough. The school should ensure that the tasks given to children in the early years maximise their learning potential and allow them sufficient time to practise.
