What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 7 November 2023
Pupils arrive at The Emscote School having experienced disruption to their education. Staff prioritise getting to know the pupils well. They quickly form positive relationships with the pupils. This helps pupils to feel safe and settled. There is a positive fresh start approach that builds pupils' self-belief. Pupils appreciate that they have a second chance at school. Leaders hold high expectations of pupils and what they can achieve. They make sure that staff understand the individual needs of all pupils. Staff establish positive learning routines. This motivates pupils to reconnect with their education. The school has set clear boundaries for pupils. Poor behaviour does sometimes happen. However, pupils understand that staff are there to support them. They do so with patience and understanding. This helps pupils to regulate. Over time, pupils' behaviour and attendance improve. Pupils receive high levels of pastoral care. They learn about themselves and the key skills required for their personal success. The school has established partnerships with alternative provisions, work placements and colleges. This enriches pupils' personal development and wider experiences beyond school. The school prepares pupils well for their next steps.
What the school should improve
- The school has not yet implemented a rigorous approach to accurately identify any gaps in pupils' phonics or reading knowledge. This means that some pupils at the early stages of reading do not get the precise help and support that they need to become fluent readers. The school should continue with its current plans to implement an appropriate programme to support the weakest readers.
- Some areas of the curriculum, such as some foundation subjects, are not as well developed as others. This means that teaching does not always build on what pupils already know and can do. Pupils are unable to make connections in their learning. Therefore, they do not retain as much content as they could. The school should continue to develop the curriculum to ensure that it is equally well planned in all subjects.
