What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 10 December 2024
Pupils enjoy coming to Stillness Junior School. They are happy to share their experiences with visitors, such as talking about the termly 'curriculum days'. These are special days when the pupils dress up as people relating to the topic of study. One pupil, reflecting the views of many, said, 'I enjoyed dressing up as an evacuee to really learn about their life.' Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. This reflects what staff expect. Pupils understand the consequence system for any poor behaviour. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. Pupils feel safe and are kept safe at school. Bullying rarely happens. Pupils trust staff to help with any worries or concerns that they may have. Pupils readily take on responsibilities, such as being members of the school council. They understand the importance of these roles. For instance, they proposed a change to an area of the playground surface to prevent potential injuries. This idea is successfully being implemented by the school. Leaders have high expectations for the achievement of pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils try their best to meet these expectations by listening carefully and working hard. Staff enrich pupils' learning with visits to museums, London landmarks and historical sites. Pupils are prepared well for the next stage of their education.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the knowledge and skills that pupils need to learn have not been as clearly identified and sequenced. In these instances, the curriculum is not implemented consistently well. As a result, some pupils do not achieve as well as they could in these subjects. The school should continue its work to embed and strengthen the curriculum.
