What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 17 October 2023
Wyedean school is true to its motto 'Aspire Together, Achieve Together'. Pupils are proud of their school and have positive relationships with adults. Pupils feel safe and part of a caring community. The school sets high expectations for behaviour. Where pupils' behaviour falls below those standards adults act. The school supports these pupils to improve their attitudes towards their learning. Pupils understand the importance of being respectful towards each other. Bullying does occur, but pupils report it, and adults resolve issues. The school is a calm and orderly environment in which pupils can learn. Pupils and students in the sixth form take on leadership responsibilities, for example as members of the school council, sports leaders and peer mentors. The new house system excites pupils. They keenly collect house points as rewards for their work. Pupils value the half-termly hero awards that celebrate their successes. The school develops 'purposeful reading'. Pupils read regularly and experience a diverse range of texts. This helps pupils to build their wider cultural understanding of the world. Pupils can join the 'Wyedean Reads' book club to discuss new books with their peers. There are enrichment opportunities to meet visiting authors and attend literary festivals.
What the school should improve
- Some areas of the curriculum are not ambitious about what pupils can achieve. This means that pupils are not introduced to challenging concepts and ideas early enough. The school should ensure that the whole curriculum is ambitious for all pupils to know more and remember more.
- The curriculum experienced by pupils does not always match the intended learning. This means that sometimes pupils do not securely gain the key knowledge that is set out in curriculum plans. The school should support teachers to consider which pedagogies are most effective to deliver each part of the intended curriculum to pupils.
