What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 November 2022
St Michael's Woolmer Green is a friendly school where pupils are keen to live out the school's vision to 'Shine as lights in the world'. They work hard and have positive attitudes toward learning. Pupils show respect for others and are accepting of difference. New pupils are warmly welcomed into the inclusive school community. Pupils respond well to staff's high expectations. Low-level disruption is rare, and classrooms are calm and purposeful places of learning. Teachers encourage pupils to take responsibility for their learning. Pupils are resilient and know that making mistakes is okay because it helps them learn. Leaders provide pupils with a wide range of activities to build their character and broaden their experiences. The lunchtime knitting club is particularly popular. Year 6 pupils relish the responsibility of looking after their Reception buddies. Pupils feel safe at school. They learn how to manage friendships and recognise bullying. They say bullying sometimes happens, but adults deal with it well. Leaders prioritise well- being. They ensure pupils know how to keep themselves healthy in body and mind. As a result, pupils thrive.
What the school should improve
- Curriculum planning in several subjects is new. This means pupils are learning a lot of fresh content without all the prerequisite knowledge required to understand this. Subject leaders must continue to develop their curriculum plans and use regular checks to ensure staff are following these plans as they intend.
