What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 21 February 2024
Pupils' happiness and safety is paramount at this school. They are well looked after. They particularly value the range of support available to help them to manage their emotions. This includes the staff who are on hand to respond immediately when pupils might be struggling with their feelings. The school's vision is to ensure that 'all pupils can achieve no matter their background or circumstance'. The school removes many barriers to learning in pursuit of this vision. It is ambitious for what pupils should achieve. Pupils generally achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils spoke about the positive impact of new school routines and expectations for behaviour that are communicated through the 'Springwell way' values. They particularly like the numerous rewards that recognise their special efforts. Most pupils conduct themselves sensibly throughout the school day. Pupils access a range of opportunities to broaden their learning beyond the curriculum. Some examples include class trips to museums and the theatre as well as partnership projects with local police officers. Older pupils appreciate the ukulele lessons that are offered to all pupils. Some spoke with enthusiasm about the popular rock songs that they have recently learned to play.
What the school should improve
- Some of the approaches that the school uses to identify pupils' SEND, and the adaptations to learning that these pupils might require, are not as robust as they could be. This sometimes means that the school is not clear enough about how best to cater for the needs of some pupils with SEND. The school should review its procedures to identify and communicate pupils' SEND so that these pupils can be better supported to achieve the best possible outcomes.
- In a small number of subjects, staff's subject knowledge is not as strong as it is in others. This sometimes means that some content is not delivered as well as it could be. It also means that some leaders are not well placed to address instances where this is the case. The school should ensure that staff are equipped with the expertise that they need to deliver, and lead, these subjects well.
