What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 11 July 2023

Pupils at World's End Junior School are enthusiastic about their learning. From learning about coding in computing lessons in Year 3 to solving ratio and proportion problems in Year 6, pupils enjoy relevant and interesting learning activities. This enjoyment is evident across the curriculum. For example, one pupil said, 'I love reading. When I finish a book, it feels like I have lost a friend.' Leaders have high ambition for all pupils. They ensure that adults uphold high expectations and aspirations. This is supported by the school values of 'respect, readiness and resilience'. Pupils talk about these values and how they help them to do well. Pupils, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), benefit from the school's nurturing approach. Classrooms are calm and purposeful. This allows pupils to do their best in lessons. Pupils behave well when moving around school and at playtimes. They are polite, friendly, well-mannered and hardworking. Pupils can explain what bullying is. They confirm that it is not tolerated at school. This helps pupils to feel safe. Pupils take advantage of a variety of enrichment activities. They take part in music concerts and attend after-school events, including drama, choir and gardening club.

What the school should improve

  • Some pupils do not have the skills needed to be able to communicate their knowledge and understanding well. This means that they struggle to make links between their learning and therefore do not achieve as well as they could. Leaders should ensure that staff receive appropriate training and support so that pupils can communicate well and be prepared for their next steps.
