What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
This is a school where pupils are happy. Staff make everyone feel welcome. Pupils feel safe because of the care they receive. Staff understand pupils' individual needs and how to support them. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Respectful relationships between pupils and staff help pupils to feel valued. Leaders have high expectations for all pupils to achieve well. They have designed a curriculum to include exciting learning experiences. For example, older pupils enjoy taking part in the 'Big Dig' in Scarborough Old Town. This helps pupils to learn how historians study the past and to value their local community. Pupils are keen to learn. They listen in lessons and want to do well. Pupils achieve well from their starting points over time. Leaders provide a range of opportunities to help pupils to become respectful citizens. They make sure that pupils are involved in looking after their local community. For example, pupils worked together to repair a damaged bus shelter. Leaders make sure that all pupils develop their talents and interests. Many pupils learn to play a musical instrument. Pupils enjoy performing in public. They recently performed their own musical compositions at York Minster.
What the school should improve
- In some areas of the curriculum, misconceptions are addressed less effectively than in others. This means that some pupils do not learn as well as they should. The school should work with teachers to improve the ways that they use assessment to address misconceptions across all subjects. academy 3
- Some pupils are unable to use the sounds and words they have learned through their phonics teaching to support their writing. This means that some pupils find writing difficult and find it hard to express their ideas in writing. Leaders should further support pupils to improve their writing by better teaching transcription alongside phonics. This will help to overcome barriers to writing for some pupils.
- Some pupils do not attend school as regularly as they should. This means that they miss out on important learning. Leaders should build on their strategies to improve attendance so that more pupils attend school regularly.
