What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 25 January 2024

Staff have high expectations of what pupils can achieve at Sparrow Farm School. The school is welcoming and inclusive. All pupils follow the ambitious curriculum, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils enjoy coming to school. They feel safe and know who to talk to if they have a concern. Pupils behave well. They understand the school's values and appreciate the support they get from staff if they struggle. Children in early years settle quickly into the school's routines and learn well together. Pupils value the help the school provides for their mental and physical health. Pupils understand what bullying is. Staff take swift and effective action if it occurs. Pupils are positive about recent changes in the school that have increased the number of opportunities available. They appreciate the school's expansion of the sports clubs and creative activities on offer. Pupils are motivated by the rewards given for good work and their contributions to school life. They enjoy taking up leadership responsibilities such as those of peer mediators and eco-warriors. All members of the Sparrow Farm community celebrate the diversity of the school. Pupils get the opportunity to visit many different places of worship. They understand why it is so important to respect different ways of life.

What the school should improve

  • On occasion, pupils' misconceptions are not identified and addressed with enough rigour and accuracy. This limits pupils' understanding and means they are not well prepared for future learning. The school should ensure that checks on pupils' learning are used routinely and purposefully to plug any gaps in their knowledge and deepen their understanding.
  • Sometimes, information about the needs of pupils with SEND is not used well to adapt teaching activities. This means that these pupils sometimes struggle to access the full curriculum. The school should ensure that teaching is consistently and suitably adapted so that these pupils are able to access the same curriculum as their peers.
