What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 13 July 2022
Pupils thrive at this inclusive and welcoming school. They are polite, hardworking and wear their uniform with pride. They have positive attitudes to learning. Pupils know how they are expected to behave. This is because the staff set high expectations and make the rules clear. Pupils say that teachers are fair and treat them with respect. Pupils learn about why being good friends to one another is important. They learn about what constitutes healthy and unhealthy relationships. They have a secure understanding of, and show respect for, the different groups of people who are protected by law. Pupils feel safe. They say that bullying or unacceptable behaviour does not happen often. If it does, adults deal with it immediately and successfully. Pupils take the 'Wheatlands Promise' seriously, which includes being kind, caring, resilient and respectful. Pupils excel in their roles and responsibilities. They are enthusiastic about being librarians, science ambassadors, school councillors or breaktime buddies. Pupils participate in extra- curricular activities, such as choir practice, dancing or craft club. They enjoy educational visits, such as trips to a Roman fort or a residential experience at an adventure centre. Most parents and carers appreciate the education that their child receives.
What the school should improve
- The essential knowledge that subjects leaders want pupils to learn in foundation subjects is not mapped out precisely enough. This means that pupils do not consistently remember the most crucial knowledge. Leaders should refine their curriculum plans so that all curriculum subjects identify the core components that they want pupils to learn and remember so that teachers can build on this at each stage of pupils' learning.
- The curriculum is not sufficiently stretching for all pupils, particularly the most-able pupils. This can limit their learning. Leaders should make sure that the curriculum, including the work set for pupils, enables all pupils to acquire the knowledge and skills they need.
