What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 20 May 2025
The school's vision for 'learning, creating and growing together' is lived and breathed by everyone at Webheath. Everyone shares the school's vision and high aspirations for what pupils can achieve. Pupils are proud of their achievements. They are equally proud of their contribution to the wider life of the school. Pupils enjoy coming to school and attend well. They are well prepared for their next steps. Relationships that are rooted in mutual respect and shared values lie at the heart of managing behaviour. As a result, pupils behave well. They value these relationships and trust adults to help with any problems that might arise. Pupils have confidence that staff would help them to solve any problems. This helps them to feel safe in school. Everyone in the Webheath family is treated fairly and equally. The school's ambition for its pupils reaches beyond the classroom. Many carefully thought-out activities and experiences are available for pupils to engage with. They take full advantage of these opportunities. Pupils learn to treat others with respect, including those who are different from themselves. Pupils have good opportunities to develop leadership skills, for example, as Value Ambassadors and play leaders. This helps them to develop a strong sense of responsibility and builds their confidence.
What the school should improve
- Sometimes, teaching does not provide clear explanations of new ideas or learning activities that enable some pupils to access a deep understanding of key knowledge. This means that some pupils do not learn the curriculum in the depth they could. The school should ensure that staff have the knowledge to enable pupils to access learning in the depth they could.
- In some subjects, the checks made on pupils' understanding do not accurately identify gaps and misconceptions. This means that teaching does not address these, and pupils do not learn the curriculum as intended. The school should ensure that staff have the expertise to accurately identify and address gaps and misconceptions in pupils' knowledge.
