What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 June 2023
Pupils are happy and proud of their inclusive school, where everyone is welcome. Staff know each child as an individual, nurturing warm and trusting relationships so that pupils feel safe and secure. Staff use this knowledge to remove any barriers to learning. Consequently, pupils who need additional support to learn receive effective help. This is particularly evident in the support for pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Pupils live up to the school's values, like respect and resilience, which are shared through the Weeth Rainbow. They behave well, move around the school sensibly and are polite to visitors. Leaders have ensured that pupils have many opportunities to take responsibility and play an active part in school life. This is something pupils do with relish. Older pupils are enthusiastic about supporting younger pupils through their work as playleaders and prefects or reading to them in the school library. Leaders involve parents in their children's education effectively. For example, in early years, local area walks with parents are built into the curriculum throughout the year. In surveys, parents overwhelmingly state that they would recommend the school.
What the school should improve
- In some subjects, the improvements that leaders are making to the curriculum and the use of assessment are in the early stages of development. Leaders must fully embed the curriculum and the assessment of pupils' learning so they can be assured that pupils know more and remember more.
- Some areas of the personal development curriculum are not designed well enough. Leaders' plans to improve pupils' understanding of lives different from their own are not yet embedded. As a result, pupils' knowledge of how people might live beyond their community is not as strong as it could be. Leaders should enable pupils to gain a broader understanding of diversity beyond their community.
