What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 7 June 2022

West Grove's motto, 'Enjoy school, enjoy learning', is at the heart of this welcoming and friendly school. Pupils achieve well because leaders expect the best of them. Pupils are confident and enthusiastic when they talk about their learning. They say they are happy and that adults help them to learn new and exciting knowledge. Staff, pupils, parents and carers say they are proud to be members of the school community. All pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), have regular opportunities to participate in a wide range of after-school activities, such as football, dodgeball, gymnastics, yoga, art and drama. This encourages pupils to develop their skills and interests. Pupils behave well. Learning takes place without disruption because the school is orderly and calm. Pupils work purposefully in their lessons and play well together at breaktimes. A kind and respectful culture permeates throughout the school. Pupils say that bullying is rare. If it does happen, it is dealt with quickly. Pupils know that they can share their concerns with adults, who will support and listen to them. Pupils are safe in school.

What the school should improve

  • ◼ In a few subjects, there are not well-established routines for pupils to learn and recap on technical vocabulary. Pupils then do not understand or correctly use new ambitious vocabulary in these subjects. Leaders need to ensure that pupils have time to learn and embed this new ambitious vocabulary so that they use it with precision.
