What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils at South Kilworth are happy and proud of their school. Pupils enjoy being part of a small school, because 'everyone gets on with each other and looks after one another.' Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils behave well in lessons and at other times of the day. They respond well to the clear routines and expectations that staff set for them. The school's ethos that 'tall oaks from little acorns grow' aims to encourage pupils to focus on their personal and academic development. It is fully incorporated into school life, with children starting in the 'acorn' and finishing in the 'tall oaks' classes. Pupils trust adults to help them with any issues or worries they have. Relationships between adults and pupils are warm and caring. There are several leadership roles that pupils can benefit from taking on. These include being a member of the school council, a worship leader or being a sports or well-being ambassador. Pupils take pride in these roles. Parents and carers are supportive of the school. One parent, typical of many, said: 'The school is a breath of fresh air. I am beyond thankful that my children get to grow up and be educated in such a wonderful environment.'
What the school should improve
- Leaders are aware that some aspects of the curriculum need further refinement, in particular ensuring that teachers' use of assessment in foundation subjects consistently identifies gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge and enables pupils to develop their responses to feedback. Leaders need to develop assessment practice that is mindful of teachers' workload, to ensure that pupils' precise knowledge is checked, and teaching can be adjusted to ensure that knowledge is retained.
