What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 22 October 2024
Springhill Academy has such a lovely warm, welcoming feel. Pupils are happy at the school and they are proud to attend. They say that teachers are caring and are always there to help them. Pupils know who to talk to if they have any worries. As a result, pupils feel safe in school. The school has high expectations of the achievement and behaviour of pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils work with determination in the classroom and achieve well as a result. Pupils have impeccable manners. They greet visitors warmly. Pupils behave well and look after one other. Children in the early years are very well taken care of. Their environment is designed carefully to meet their different needs. Children develop their communication skills well. As a result, they love talking about what they are doing and confidently use the new vocabulary they have learned. Pupils benefit from the many opportunities the school offers. For example, the trust has designed a list of activities the pupils take part in, known as '11 before 11'. Pupils talk excitedly about their experiences including 'sleeping under the stars,' bird watching and taking part in a 'colour run.'
What the school should improve
- Occasionally teachers do not make the necessary adjustments in reading lessons for some pupils. This means that these pupils do not access the text as well as they could. The school should provide training so that teachers can use a wider range of strategies to enable all pupils to have a secure understanding of what they are reading.
- A few pupils lack the necessary communication skills to talk about their learning and reflect on what makes them successful. This means that these pupils develop gaps in their learning. The school should ensure that teachers receive appropriate training to build in opportunities for pupils to talk about their learning and deepen their understanding about what makes them successful.
