What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
Pupils feel valued at Springfield, and this is because the school does value each individual who attends here. This is a listening school. Leaders hear the voices of staff and pupils. This supports the school in its genuine collaborative approach to learning, improving learning experiences both in and out of the classroom. Leaders' high expectations permeate all areas of the school. The school celebrates pupils' achievements. A high proportion of pupils arrive throughout the year and many speak English as an additional language. The school successfully gets to know all pupils on their arrival to the school, whether this be at the start of early years or later in their school life. This enables the school to give pupils personalised support. The school has a determination to ensure that all pupils excel in their own way. The school is successful in this mission. Pupils are well equipped for the next stage of their education. Pupils' behaviour is excellent. Polite, respectful children in early years play and learn together. The older pupils are great ambassadors for the school. Pupils are welcoming and well mannered to each other and the staff. This helps ensure the school, in and outside the classroom, is calm. Clubs and activities are carefully planned. They link to learning which sparks pupils' interest. For example, the visits to local museums build on learning in the classroom.
What the school should improve
- The school's actions to develop pupils' spoken language are not fully embedded. This means that some pupils' oracy is not as advanced as it could be. The school should continue with its plans to support pupils with subject-specific vocabulary to improve their language knowledge.
