What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 30 November 2022
Pupils, staff and families are proud of their school. Parents and carers are positive about the school, with many commenting that 'the school has a feeling of community and coming together'. Pupils value school life. There is a broad range of subjects on offer. Staff make lessons interesting and exciting and help pupils to learn and remember new knowledge. Pupils work hard and enjoy their learning. Staff know them and care for them very well. From the moment they start in the Nursery, pupils at Wyborne rise to the high expectations that staff have of them, and they achieve highly. Pupils behave well and are respectful to each other and to adults. Wyborne is a safe and happy place to be. Working relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Many pupils said that the best thing about the school is the teachers and how they help them. Staff swiftly sort out any poor behaviour, including any rare cases of bullying. Pupils are supported to contribute well to school life. They do this in a range of ways, including through their roles as pupil governors and subject ambassadors.
What the school should improve
- Leaders' oversight of the books that pupils practise reading with at home is still developing. This means that leaders do not know if pupils who may be struggling or in need of extra support are practising with books that are appropriately matched to their stage of reading. In further developing their recently introduced approach to early reading, leaders should check and make sure that pupils practise reading with materials that are appropriate to their reading skills. Leaders should use what they find out from their checks to accurately evaluate the impact of the reading curriculum on all pupils.
- A few staff lack confidence in supporting pupils' reading development, including in phonics. At times, this can affect how well pupils' progression in reading is promoted. Leaders should continue their work to ensure that they identify staff's specific training needs and that these are addressed through appropriate guidance and support.
