What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 19 July 2022
Weetwood's reputation for meeting the needs of pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) is richly deserved. Parents and carers of pupils with SEND choose to travel from miles away, so their children can attend this school. Leaders have designed a curriculum that celebrates pupils' differences. As a result, pupils have a sophisticated understanding of equalities and diversity. Pupils are kind to each other. They nominate other pupils to receive a 'praise postcard' when other pupils are kind to them. It is exciting for pupils when teachers send postcards home congratulating pupils for their kindness. Bullying is extremely rare and resolved quickly. Pupils are confident that a trusted adult will help them if they are upset. Parents say, 'There is a wonderful sense of community and belonging.' Governors, staff and parents work in partnership to achieve the school's aims. This is working. Pupils are interested in their lessons and they behave well. Teachers regularly remind pupils of the shared values at the heart of Weetwood's curriculum. These include honesty, inclusivity and resilience. Pupils understand that developing good character will help them at school and throughout life.
What the school should improve
- Subject leaders have not identified substantive and disciplinary knowledge in sufficient detail for each year group in every foundation subject. Consequently, pupils are not achieving as well as they could. Leaders should continue to develop detailed medium- term curriculum and assessment arrangements in every subject.
