What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 2 March 2023
Stradbroke is a friendly community, where pupils feel happy and safe. They enjoy school and can choose from a range of regular after-school activities. Pupils are also able to contribute to the life of the school through the school council and as reading ambassadors. Pupils are polite to staff and visitors. Classroom ambassadors welcome you to classes, and behaviour is positive. Surveys show that most parents would recommend the school. Leaders have high expectations of pupils. There are clear routines around the school, and pupils follow these. The expectations ensure that the school is a calm place, where pupils can generally learn well. Teachers encourage the children to work hard. Teachers and pupils have very positive relationships. Pupils trust adults to keep them safe and help them to learn. Pupils say that bullying happens, but it is rare. The school is a community where pupils accept each other being different and they care for each other. One pupil said, 'It's the place I don't want to leave.' While most pupils make progress, this is not the case for some pupils. Pupils do not always know more as a result of their learning. They cannot always remember key information they have learned.
What the school should improve
- Some pupils do not retain sufficient knowledge to be able to make strong progress. This is because strategies for identifying and addressing gaps are not consistently effective. Leaders should ensure that their existing curriculum specifies the key knowledge that pupils must understand and that they put in place effective strategies to support all pupils to remember this content.
