What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 1 March 2023
Pupils at Temple Moor High School feel safe. They are happy to attend school. Relationships between staff and pupils are strong. Pupils say bullying rarely happens. If it does happen, pupils are confident that it is dealt with by staff. Leaders have high expectations of pupils' behaviour. Staff use the school's behaviour system consistently. Pupils behave well because of this. Leaders have a clear vision for the school. They understand the school's strengths and areas for improvement. Leaders are ambitious for what all pupils can achieve, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). As a result, pupils achieve well at this school. Pupils benefit from a range of extra-curricular activities as part of the extended school day. These range from sport, to chess, to debate club. However, the wider development of pupils needs to be a sharper focus for leaders. Some pupils have a limited understanding of world religions and the protected characteristics.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the curriculum does not identify the most important knowledge that pupils need to know and remember. This means that pupils do not build a consistent depth of knowledge across all areas of the curriculum. Leaders need to ensure that they specify the most important knowledge they want pupils to know and remember across all areas of the curriculum.
- Some pupils do not have a secure knowledge of world religions or how certain characteristics are protected by law. This means that these pupils are not as well prepared for life in modern Britain as their peers. Leaders need to ensure that the personal development curriculum addresses any gaps in pupils' knowledge so that pupils are prepared well for life after school.
