What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 September 2023
Studley St Mary's CofE Academy is a school where pupils and families receive a warm welcome. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils are polite to adults and each other, and they readily welcome visitors to their school. Pupils are well cared for. The school makes sure that all pupils are supported, both academically and emotionally. Pupils feel safe here. The school has high expectations and wants the best for all pupils. Expectations for the way that pupils will behave are clear. All staff uphold the rules consistently and, as a result, pupils behave well in lessons and on the playground. Pupils say that bullying rarely happens, but when it does, staff deal with it quickly. Those pupils who need additional help to succeed in school are very well supported. The school has introduced a number of changes to improve the education that it offers. Parents and pupils recognise and appreciate the improvements. After an unsettled time, staffing is now stable and those changes are taking effect, but more still needs to be done to further improve the curriculum.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that some elements of personal development are taught explicitly, or at an appropriate time. This means that pupils are not fully prepared for the next stage of education or for life in modern Britain. The school should continue to improve the provision for pupils' personal development, ensuring that pupils are prepared for the transitions in their school journey, are aware of the diverse nature of Britain and understand fundamental British values.
- Some subjects are not yet as well defined and sequenced as others. Where the school has not identified the precise knowledge and skills it wants pupils to know, use and remember, teachers find it difficult to check what pupils are expected to know and retain. As a result, pupils do not always have secure knowledge on which to build new learning. The school should ensure that, in all subjects, teachers are clear about the specific content pupils need to know and remember.
