What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 November 2024
St. Oswald's School has improved in many ways. Pupils are now able to take much greater advantage of the learning opportunities on offer. They recognise that the school is now a calmer place. This helps them learn more easily and without distraction. The school is determined all pupils reach their full potential. Pupils rise to the school's expectations. Most pupils achieve well in most subjects. This includes pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils take pride in their work and strive to work hard in lessons. Pupils say they now feel safer in school. They appreciate and welcome the efforts taken to make this the case. Some pupils say that bullying still happens. However, they have absolute confidence that this will be sorted quickly by caring staff who put them first. Pupils know that someone will always listen to them, and help them, if they have any worries or concerns. The worry box allows them to do this confidentially. Older pupils act as 'buddies' on the playground. They support and nurture the younger pupils very sensibly at breaktimes and lunchtimes. They enjoy this sense of responsibility. It is a happy school where pupils are valued for their individuality.
What the school should improve
- The school has not established effective ways to support pupils who struggle to keep up with the pace of the phonics programme. As a result, some pupils do not keep up with their peers when learning to read. The school should ensure that these pupils are given the support they need to improve their reading skills.
- The school does not identify the needs of all pupils with SEND with precision. Some pupils with SEND do not learn the curriculum well or improve their behaviour over time. The school should ensure that staff identify barriers to learning more accurately and adapt learning to meet pupils' needs with precision.
- Several pupils are regularly absent for long periods. This means that they are not learning as much as they should. The school should continue to work with families to ensure the attendance rates of the most vulnerable pupils improves.
