What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 14 January 2025
Spaldwick is a happy and vibrant school. Pupils are proud of their successes and the Spaldwick School community spirit. They are confident as they welcome visitors and speak enthusiastically about their work. Parents are equally positive about the quality of education on offer, including for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). The school's values are reflected in pupils' attitudes to learning and in their support for each other. Pupils work hard to meet the high expectations set for their behaviour and achievement. Typically, they achieve well. In classrooms there is little disruption to learning. When a few pupils struggle to behave as well as they should, they are supported sensitively to improve. Pupils enjoy coming to school, so most attend regularly. In the Reception class, children settle into routines quickly, learning and playing sociably together. They especially like listening to stories and learning to read. Pupils feel safe in school. They know that a trusted adult will help them if they are worried. Older pupils watch out for their younger peers. The wide range of pupil roles are sought after and appreciated. The junior leadership team ensures that everyone has a voice, including through the popular 'Hoots' pupil parliament.
What the school should improve
- The school is still evaluating the effectiveness of the implementation of its ambitious curriculum. This means that, occasionally, activities are not as closely matched as they could be to pupils' abilities. In these instances, pupils do not achieve as well as they could. The school and the trust should ensure that ongoing evaluations, and any associated staff development, secure activities that are routinely well matched to pupils' needs. This is so that pupils achieve consistently well across all aspects of the curriculum.
- For some pupils, gaps in their ability to apply their phonics knowledge results in inaccuracies in their spelling. This impacts negatively on their writing. The school and the trust should ensure that all adults have the knowledge and skills to confidently support those pupils who need extra help to continue to improve their spelling.
