What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 January 2024
'The Ferncumbe Family' is a phrase used by all. It perfectly describes this caring, inclusive school where pupils and staff look out for one another and everyone can 'enjoy, believe and achieve'. Pupils thoroughly enjoy attending school. Each morning, there is a warm welcome at the school gate for everyone. Pupils know that the adults in school want the very best for them. They enjoy living up to these expectations and achieve highly in statutory assessments. Older pupils act as role models for their younger friends. Those in pupil leadership positions, such as school councillors and friendship ambassadors, use their roles to help make school even better for everyone. All pupils benefit from a wide range of opportunities. There is something for everyone, from visiting the Houses of Parliament during 'democracy week' to enjoying a trip to the theatre or taking part in a sporting activity. Parents and carers are very positive about the school. One parent voiced the views of many by saying that the school is 'caring and understanding, nurturing children's personalities as well as their academic abilities.'
What the school should improve
- Some subject leaders are still developing their expertise. A small number of subject leaders have not yet identified when their curriculum is not being implemented in the way they intend. The school should continue to develop the expertise and capacity of subject leaders to evaluate the effectiveness and consistent delivery of the curriculum.
- Although the school identifies when important actions need to be taken, the implementation and impact of these actions are not always fully checked. This means that the school does not always know if what was planned has been put in place and is working. The school should ensure that planned actions are consistently carried out and checked.
