What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 22 November 2023

Weston Hills is an ambitious and inclusive school. Pupils are happy and feel safe. The school has gone through a period of transformation. This has included the introduction of a completely new curriculum design. The new revised curriculum is ambitious for all pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) and those who are disadvantaged. There are high expectations of all pupils and, as a result, pupils achieve well. Pupils' attitudes to their learning are exceptional. Pupils show high levels of engagement in lessons. They talk and interact with excitement about their learning. Pupils show high levels of independence and take great pride in their achievements. Relationships between pupils and staff are nurturing and strong. One pupil commented: 'I don't think any other primary school could beat this school. We are like one big, happy family - a family that learns but also has fun.' Pupils take great pride in the extra responsibilities they can take on. They enjoy playing a proactive part in school events and also have a strong voice in some decisions. For example, they choose which charities the school will support. Pupils also have access to a range of carefully chosen clubs, trips and experiences.

What the school should improve

  • In a small number of foundation subjects, there are inconsistencies in what pupils can recall about their learning. Pupils do not yet reliably remember what they have been taught in these subjects. Leaders should ensure that the curriculum enables all pupils, including pupils with SEND, to know more and remember more in all subject areas.
