What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 12 July 2022
Springwood Junior is an inclusive school where everyone is welcome. Pupils are kind and considerate and treat others how they wish to be treated. They are keen to help each other in lessons and during playtime. Pupils understand how to stay safe and know they can share their worries with a trusted adult. Staff act quickly to resolve any bullying or incidents of unkindness. As a result, pupils are safe and happy. The school's values show in all aspects of school life. All adults have high expectations of pupils. Pupils try their best in all they do and are proud of their learning. They enjoy opportunities to be responsible in class and around the school. The school council has increased recycling across the school, encourages kindness and raises road safety awareness. The 'Springwood journey' provides pupils with a comprehensive programme of visits, clubs and enrichment activities. This includes a range of curriculum-related trips, including visiting the Winchester Science Museum and other field trips in the local area. All pupils have the chance to participate in a range of outdoor adventurous residential visits.
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not finished their planned work to review the curriculum in a few subjects. Staff, therefore, do not always know the key knowledge pupils need to learn. Pupils do not build on what they already know in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the small steps that must be taught and in what order are clearly identified in all subjects.
- In the foundation subjects, teachers do not routinely check what pupils understand and remember from prior learning before introducing new content. This means that pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that these checks are in place and used effectively.
