What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 October 2022

The Angmering School is a calm and orderly place, where pupils feel safe. Leaders have created an environment that has a strong focus on learning and high-quality pastoral care. Their commitment to inclusion means that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), thrive. Leaders make sure that those with physical disabilities benefit fully from all that the school has to offer. Students in the sixth form feel very well supported. By the end of Year 13, they achieve well. Students are ambitious about their next steps. This is because leaders provide a well-constructed careers programme. Pupils behave well in lessons and around school. Staff deal with any bullying or incidents of inconsiderate name calling quickly. Pupils know who to go to if they are worried about themselves or others. There is a wide range of extra-curricular activities. Pupils enjoy going to basketball, singing and origami clubs at lunchtime and to paralympic sports, football and netball after school. Pupils are proud to champion curriculum areas as 'subject ambassadors'. Sixth form students mentor pupils in Year 11 and help younger pupils to improve their reading.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of subjects, leaders have not planned and sequenced knowledge with enough precision. This means that sometimes pupils do not learn as well as they could. Leaders need to continue to strengthen the curriculum, so that all subjects are equally effective.
