What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 April 2023
This is a happy, welcoming school. Staff and pupils have created an inclusive culture where all are respected and valued. Leaders have high expectations of all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). All pupils are keen to meet these expectations and they do. Pupils recognise that their teachers want them to do well. Pupils understand the school's 'Values for Success' and embody them in their attitudes and actions. Pupils are kind and considerate. They are polite and respectful. Pupils enjoy positive relationships with each other and with staff. They support each other in lessons and around school. Pupils understand what bullying is and say that it does not happen at Washingborough. Teachers help to sort out any problems or incidents of unkindness. Pupils enjoy their experiences at Washingborough. They are proud to take on leadership roles and even prouder of the impact that they have by doing so. For example, 'Guardians of the Earth' promote the school's work to be sustainable. Pupils tend the school's kitchen garden. They plant and harvest produce for use in the school's kitchen. They recently presented their produce at a horticultural show.
What the school should improve
- The curriculums for some subjects are new. Leaders have not yet had time to evaluate the impact of these curriculums. Leaders should review the implementation and impact of newly introduced curriculums to ensure that all pupils achieve highly in these subjects.
- Leaders should continue to review and develop their strategies to ensure that all pupils attend regularly.
