What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 13 June 2023

Yateley School is a warm and welcoming community where pupils thrive. Positive, respectful relationships are at the heart of the school's ethos, and staff take the time to get to know pupils and their families well. Pupils enjoy coming to school, and their attendance is high. The school's values of 'Ready, Respectful, Safe' permeate all aspects of school life. Leaders set high expectations for pupils' learning and behaviour. Pupils behave well in lessons and around the school. There is a calm and friendly atmosphere across the school site. Pupils feel safe and supported. Bullying and discrimination of any kind are not tolerated in this inclusive school. Leaders deal with any bullying swiftly and effectively. Pupils are confident that staff will take their concerns seriously. Pupils benefit from a wide range of extra-curricular clubs and activities. Leaders ensure that these activities foster pupils' interests and talents. Clubs include sports, music, drama and debating. Pupils enjoy the many house competitions. Sixth-form students take a lead in a number of these activities. Parents and carers are very positive about the quality of experience that their child receives. As one parent wrote, 'The school is a safe, happy place for our child to learn.'

What the school should improve

  • Some teachers are not making the adaptations necessary to meet the needs of pupils with SEND fully. This means that some pupils do not achieve as highly as they could. Leaders should ensure that all staff should implement these adaptations for each pupil with SEND effectively, utilising examples of best practice in the school.
  • Strategies designed to revisit and embed previous learning are not consistently implemented. This means that, sometimes, pupils do not remember important subject content that they have previously covered. Leaders should develop classroom practice so that more teaching activities help pupils to revisit and embed prior learning in their long-term memory effectively.
