What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 3 October 2023
Pupils are very happy to come to school every day. They know their teachers will look after them and make the lessons interesting. Pupils work well in class and play very well together outside. Pupils are kind and caring towards each other. Pupils demonstrate the school's values in how they behave throughout the day. These are to stay safe, treat each other with respect, try your best and be proud. The school is very inclusive and welcomes pupils with a wide variety of needs and from different backgrounds. Staff go above and beyond to make school a successful experience for everyone. This includes for pupils with complex special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils show great patience and empathy to make sure everyone is included. The curriculum is ambitious in all subjects. The 'Springwood Family Offer' tells pupils what wider experiences they will receive during their time at the school. Pupils take part in a variety of clubs and trips. This includes an adventurous two-night residential trip in Year 2 to an outdoor study centre in the New Forest.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, processes are not fully in place for staff to systematically check what pupils have learned and can remember. As a result, pupils do not learn as well as they could. The school should ensure that teachers check what pupils have learned and use this information to adapt the curriculum so that all pupils develop and embed a detailed knowledge in all areas of the curriculum.
