What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 January 2025
This is a joyful school where pupils love to learn. Pupils are polite and articulate. The school is nurturing while also holding high expectations for pupils' achievement. Pupils understand these expectations. They relish challenging work and enjoy explaining what they have learned. Pupils take pride in achieving well and excitedly talk about 'learning more and more'. Through the school values, pupils learn to be 'safe, respectful, courageous and collaborative'. They demonstrate these values through their responsible behaviours in lessons and around the school. All pupils benefit from the friendly, close community and warm relationships with staff. New arrivals are warmly welcomed and quickly feel part of the school. They rightly describe the school as being like a 'family' where staff know every pupil very well. The school provides a wide range of enrichment opportunities. Pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds and pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) are included fully so that they have opportunities that they otherwise may not experience. The '30 things to do before you leave Stone' benefit pupils by helping them to discover new interests, uncover talents and become well-rounded young people. These include talent shows, volunteering opportunities and musical performances, along with many more experiences.
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, teachers do not adapt tasks or use resources as effectively as they could. This means that some pupils are not challenged to think as deeply as they could. For other pupils, the learning is not broken down as much as it needs to be so that they can build secure understanding. The school should continue to support staff to improve their pedagogical knowledge so that all pupils can engage fully in all activities and achieve as highly as possible.
