What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 25 May 2022
Yatton Juniors is a welcoming and inclusive place to learn. Pupils are rightly proud of their school. They can explain how the motto of 'grow, celebrate and make a difference' guides them in all they do. Pupils speak positively about the care, help and support they receive from all staff. This makes them feel safe and happy. Leaders continue to refine and improve the curriculum. Pupils benefit from rich and varied experiences. An example of this is 'learning college' when staff, parents and local groups provide pupils with activities to complement the curriculum. These include bushcraft, animation, cross stitch and origami. Pupils say this helps to develop their interests and talents. Pupils behave well because they know what is expected of them. They follow the 'be ready, be safe, be respectful' rules most of the time. Pupils report that if bullying happens, it is dealt with quickly by staff and the anti-bullying ambassadors. Leaders give careful consideration to pupils' emotional and personal development. They provide personalised support for any pupils experiencing anxiety or trauma. Older pupils carry out roles of responsibility, such as school councillors and mini police, with maturity. They are well prepared for secondary education.
What the school should improve
- Teachers do not always provide learning activities that are well matched to the intended curriculum. This limits the opportunities for pupils to build and deepen their knowledge as successfully as they could, including pupils with SEND. Leaders need to ensure that work given to pupils supports the intended learning and reflects the ambitious curriculum.
- Not all subject leaders have the precise knowledge of how well pupils are learning their subject. This means they do not know whether pupils have understood what they have been taught. Subject leaders should routinely check how well pupils learn and remember the most important curriculum content.
