What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 18 May 2022
Yelvertoft is a happy school. Pupils enjoy their learning and are proud of their school. They know that staff care for them and listen to them, and they feel safe because of this. Leaders promote pupils' well-being. They know that their role is to care for the whole child. There are several roles that pupils can benefit from. These include being a school leader or a school councillor. Pupils take pride in these roles and in representing their peers. The school has a strongly inclusive ethos. Leaders have high aspirations for all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). Staff commit to knowing each pupil individually. Relationships between staff and pupils are very positive. Pupils behave well. They are polite and respectful. They play happily together during their breaktimes. Pupils know that bullying is not tolerated. They know that staff are quick to sort out any concerns for them. Pupils have a very clear understanding of equality and diversity. Parents and carers are overwhelmingly positive about the school. One parent, typical of many, said, 'This is a happy and safe school. Teachers care for the children and nurture them.'
What the school should improve
- The school's curriculum is not yet sufficiently well planned and sequenced in some subjects. However, it is clear from leaders' actions that they are in the process of bringing this about. Leaders need to complete the process of implementing the curriculum in all subjects within their identified timescale. For this reason, the transitional arrangements have been applied.
