What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 6 February 2024
Whitchurch is a friendly and inclusive school where everyone is appreciated. Pupils enjoy coming to school and thrive. One typical comment from a pupil describes the school as, 'Warm, welcoming and educational.' The school's values of being kind, respectful, proud, resilient and curious are seamlessly intertwined and observed by pupils throughout the building. Pupils feel safe in school and parents agree that they are. Pupils know there is always someone to talk to if they have any worries. Children in the Reception Year get off to a great start, make friends quickly, and follow the school's routines enthusiastically. The staff have high expectations for pupils' attitudes towards learning and behaviour and the pupils respond positively. Pupils behave well and work hard. Their strong relationships with staff help them develop confidence and resilience. Teachers present learning in engaging and interesting ways to motivate and develop pupils' curiosity. On the playgrounds, pupils play together well and show respect towards each other. Peer mentors appreciate helping younger pupils at playtimes. The well-planned learning goes beyond the classroom. The school provides a wealth of opportunities for pupils, helping them become well-rounded individuals and citizens. This allows pupils to achieve well beyond the academic subjects.
What the school should improve
- In a few subjects, the curriculum has been recently reviewed to ensure that pupils learn the important skills and knowledge in the correct order. As a result, the school is still developing strategies to ensure that pupils secure a rich and deep body of knowledge in these areas. It is too early to see the impact of these changes in full. The school should check that these changes have the desired impact on pupils' learning.
