What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 November 2023
Pupils, staff, governors and parents and carers work as one to make this school such a lovely place to work and to learn. Pupils feel safe and valued in this warm, nurturing environment. It truly is a place where 'children are at the heart of everything.' Being respectful is one of the school's 'HEART' values. Pupils demonstrate this quality in lessons and on the playground. They understand why respecting others is important. Pupils have a strong sense of fairness and what is right and wrong. Pupils behave well. They are polite and cheerful. Pupils like going to school and spending time with each other. They enjoy the extra-curricular activities on offer at South View, such as cookery club and STEM club, and all the sports competitions the school participates in. Pupils are proud of their school and where they live. Pupils love their school meals. They describe them as healthy and delicious. The Year 6 pupils who serve at the salad bar are always busy. They enjoy learning about the history of their local area. They look forward to performing at Crowland Abbey.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not check closely enough on what pupils know and can do. This means that pupils are sometimes moved on to more demanding work too soon or too late. The school must sharpen the use of formative assessment, checking on progress closely in lessons and moving pupils on to new content when they are ready.
- In some subjects, pupils do not remember the important knowledge they have been taught. This prevents pupils from building on what they have already covered and deepening their understanding. The school must ensure that teachers systematically revisit the key content pupils need to retain, helping them to remember it over the long term and use it again.
