What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 5 December 2023
Pupils feel safe and well supported across all year groups. The 'Colleton Code: ready and curious; respectful and kind; safe and secure' sits at the heart of the school. Staff have clear expectations for behaviour, and pupils respond positively to these, demonstrating respect and kindness. Pupils are proud of their school and describe it as inclusive and friendly. They show a strong sense of empathy and understanding for their peers. Bullying is very rare and where it does occur, it is dealt with swiftly and effectively by staff. Since the last inspection, there have been a number of positive actions put in place to improve the quality of education for all pupils. As a result, most pupils achieve well across many subjects. Pupils are unanimously positive about their experiences and enjoy their lessons. There are a wide range of activities to participate in, including a range of clubs and additional opportunities to broaden pupils' engagement within the local community and to nurture talents. Examples include singing at the local church and a variety of sports clubs. As one parent said, 'This school develops the whole child. I look forward to how my child will develop as they continue to go through the school.'
What the school should improve
- In some lessons, the movement between learning activities leaves too much time that is not focused on learning the intended curriculum. This means that the pupils are not focused on the most important learning. The school should provide staff with appropriate training and support to ensure that teaching and learning time is used consistently effectively.
- Some actions that leaders have taken to improve teaching and assessment are in the early stages of implementation. This means that pupils' learning is variable across different subjects. The school must ensure that they continue to support staff with high-quality training and assure themselves that ambitious expectations are consistently met across all subjects.
