What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 26 September 2023
Leaders have worked effectively to transform the provision at Witton Middle School. The school has high expectations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Parents wholeheartedly agree. Pupils believe that belonging, collaboration, curiosity and growth enable them to develop both as learners and as individuals. They are happy and enjoy school. Pupils behave well during lessons, when moving around the school and at breaktimes. They have a clear understanding of the school rules of 'be ready, be responsible, be respectful, be safe'. They aspire to earn merit points and the rewards they receive for achieving them. If bullying happens, pupils know that adults will deal with it quickly. Pupils enjoy a wide number of clubs. These go beyond the sporting and include choir, yoga and cookery. The school ensures that all pupils can take part in them, no matter what their background.
What the school should improve
- The school has not ensured that phonics teaching is taught consistently to a high quality. This slows some pupils' progress in being able to read fluently. The school should ensure that staff receive training and support to teach phonics effectively so that all pupils become confident and fluent readers.
- On occasion, teachers do not check accurately what pupils understand. This means they do not always provide pupils with learning activities that are well- matched to their needs. Leaders should ensure that all teachers are skilled in checking pupils' understanding to enable them to select the most appropriate learning activity for them.
