What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 23 May 2023
Weald Rise is an inclusive learning community. Pupils come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and all are included in school life. Pupils new to the school are made to feel welcome and quickly settle in. Those pupils who join the school at the early stages of speaking English receive the support they need to learn the curriculum well, including specific help with speaking, reading and writing in English. Pupils enjoy school. They are taught to be kind and to support each other. Pupils are caring towards one another. For example, older pupils act as peer mediators, supporting younger pupils on the playground. Pupils behave incredibly well. They work hard in lessons. Pupils' behaviour means that they can concentrate and learn effectively in class. Pupils take pride in their work and what they have learned. Staff have high expectations for pupils. Both staff and pupils model the school's motto, 'rising to the challenge, striving for excellence'. Bullying is rare, and pupils are safe. They trust school staff and know how they can report a concern, either by speaking to an adult or using the worry box in class. Leaders deal effectively with any bullying or unkind behaviour. Pupils enjoy the wide range of extra-curricular clubs that are on offer, such as cricket, art, drama and Minecraft club.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, leaders' curriculum design is relatively new. Over time, pupils' knowledge in these subjects has not developed and deepened as well as it has in others. Leaders should continue with their planned changes to the curriculum, maintaining their focus on ensuring that pupils build detailed knowledge across all subjects.
- While overall the early reading curriculum is delivered consistently and effectively, there are a few instances where staff's modelling of sounds is not as precise as it could be. When this happens, it is unhelpful to pupils' learning of new sounds. Leaders should implement their plans to address these small number of inconsistencies in staff's expertise in modelling sounds clearly and precisely.
