What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
Pupils are happy and proud to belong to this calm, diverse and friendly school community. The school helps new pupils, including those from overseas, to settle in quickly. Pupils explained to inspectors how important it is to be kind to each other. They said that this helps everyone to make and maintain strong friendships. Pupils strive to follow the 'Stanley Road Way' in all that they do. They are polite and respectful towards each other and towards staff. Pupils behave well during lessons and as they move around the school. They enjoy playtimes and lunchtimes when they play or chat sociably with each other. Pupils described how they value the support that they receive to help them to learn. The school expects all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to achieve well and aim high. Pupils strive to follow these high expectations. They achieve well across the curriculum. Pupils are proud of their many successes, including performing poems that they have learned to their parents and carers. Pupils benefit from a range of trips, such as to the beach and to museums. They spoke enthusiastically about clubs that they attend, such as gymnastics and multiplication club.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, including reading, the checks that teachers make on what pupils know and remember are not as effective as they could be. At times, this hinders teachers in designing learning that addresses gaps in pupils' knowledge. The school should ensure that teachers receive support and guidance so that they can identify and address gaps in pupils' learning consistently well.
