What Ofsted said
From the inspection on 8 November 2022
Pupils at Yew Tree Community Junior and Infant School get a good education. Pupils are proud of their school, which is a happy and safe place to be. This is a school built on respect. Pupils talk confidently about the 'wheel of well-being'. They focus on different aspects of this wheel, for example 'spirit', which pupils spoken to say helps them to remember to give generously, including their support for others. Pupils know how to keep themselves safe and healthy. They say that there is always a trusted adult to speak to. Pupils know what bullying is. They say it very rarely happens. If it does, adults quickly ensure that it stops. Pupils behave well around school, in lessons and at lunchtime. Staff have high expectations for learning and behaviour and pupils respond well to these. Pupils have positive attitudes to learning. They enjoy their lessons and say that teachers make learning fun. Pupils enjoy the opportunities provided. For example, pupils in Year 6 enjoyed a recent visit to Stratford-upon-Avon to learn more about the life of William Shakespeare.

What the school should improve
- There have been some recent changes to leadership at all levels. As a result, some roles are not fully developed and leaders do not consistently monitor the effectiveness of changes to the curriculum. Leaders, including those responsible for governance, should ensure that leaders at all levels have the autonomy, skills and support to fulfil their roles in continuing to drive forward school improvement.
- Some opportunities for all pupils to benefit fully from all the wider aspects of the school community are limited. As a result, not all pupils, including those with SEND, are as fully prepared for life in modern Britain and their next stage of education as they might be. Leaders should continue to develop the personal development curriculum for all pupils, including those with SEND, to ensure that all pupils are as fully prepared for life in modern Britain and their next stages of education as they can be.
