What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 29 March 2022
Pupils enjoy attending this school. They understand and celebrate their locality through projects such as 'why the world needs Lincolnshire'. All pupils know the importance of the three school values. Teachers encourage pupils to demonstrate respect, courage and compassion in their daily lives. Teachers have high expectations of pupils' behaviour and there is little to no disruption in the classrooms. Pupils say that bullying does not happen at this school. They are very confident that teachers would not tolerate any form of bullying. Leaders at the school create a caring ethos. The school is calm and orderly at all times. Everyone looks out for one another in the school community. Pupils who act as 'mini police' help pupils who look upset or lonely. Pupils say that they feel safe in this caring environment. In assemblies, pupils use British sign language to sing songs and take part in events such as World Afro Day. Pupils say that the school teaches them to be inclusive. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the work the school does to support and educate the pupils that attend. As one parent put it: 'Children go from buds all the way through to blossoming at this school.'
What the school should improve
- Leaders have not identified the key knowledge and content that pupils need to learn across all subjects. In a few foundation subjects, teachers do not know exactly what pupils should know by when. Consequently, pupils do not gain a depth of knowledge in these subjects. It is clear from leaders' actions that they are in the process of reviewing these foundation subjects. For this reason, the transitional arrangements have been applied. Leaders should ensure that there is clarity around the precise knowledge that pupils should know and by when in all subjects.
- In some foundation subjects, there is no consistent approach to how teachers assess what pupils learn. This means that pupils can have gaps in their knowledge which teachers do not address. Leaders should ensure that assessment in all subjects enables teachers to identify and address gaps in pupils' knowledge.
