What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 20 February 2024

Springhead is a school where no one is invisible. The staff and pupils know and value the strong relationships they have. Families feel part of the school and are overwhelmingly supportive. The school day begins for pupils with a warm welcome. The school is a focal point for the community. It is a place where all involved, from the governors to the youngest of pupils, feel part of the Springhead family. Lessons are alive with activity. Pupils focus on the carefully considered tasks that support the curriculum aspirations. For example, in art, pupils considered the work of famous artists and recreated their own ideas, but with a Springhead spin. Pupils clearly understand routines. In early years, children thrive. The environment allows children to interact with each other and the staff in a meaningful way. Play in early years is purposeful. In class and around school, there is a calm atmosphere. Pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) learn, play and grow with their peers. The staff know the pupils extremely well. The school is continually looking at how it can improve the academic curriculum. This ensures that the high aspirations the school has for its pupils are continually rising. Pupils enjoy success in all areas of the curriculum. This gives the pupils a strong platform to build on as they move on to the next phase in their education. Pupils enjoy the wide array of additional activities on offer. Clubs, such as those for debating and karaoke, are part of the offer, which is carefully selected by staff to nurture pupils' interests and passions.

What the school should improve

  • In some subjects, the curriculum does not ensure that pupils retain and apply advanced, subject-specific vocabulary appropriately. As a result, pupils' depth of understanding of the subject knowledge has limits. The school should embed refined, subject-specific vocabulary so that pupils' strong subject knowledge is developed further.
