What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
Pupils thrive at Velmead Junior School. They are expected to achieve highly and make a positive contribution. They have a say in the extra opportunities on offer. As a result, they are proud to share their projects. This includes bug boxes in the school grounds, as part of their eco-committee work. At social times, pupils play together and get involved with a wide range of activities. Sports leaders organise games so that everyone is included. Pupils enjoy the 'In-Out club' where they can draw and read. Pupils live the school values. They want to achieve their STEPY (Sorry, Thank you, Excuse me, Please, You're welcome) and Velmead Values badges, which they wear with pride. They encourage each other to do well. Bullying is not a concern here. Pupils know if it happens, adults will help them. Pupils feel safe in school. They can confidently explain how the school teaches them to keep safe in the local community and when online. Pupils relish learning and are eager to talk about their school day. All pupils enjoy learning to play a musical instrument. Year 6 are confident, enthusiastic singers and ukulele players, who appreciate the opportunities to perform to different audiences.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, leaders and teachers are not using the assessment information they have to refine and adapt the curriculum. As a result, the activities and work pupils are asked to complete do not always support them to achieve as highly as they could. Leaders should continue to review how teachers use the assessment information they have to support further curriculum adaptations and development.
