Woodcroft Ofsted Inspection Report 1/5/2024
The inspection process was extremely positive. Here are just a few of the highlights from the report:
“Pupils take their learning seriously at this vibrant and welcoming school”
“The school is ambitious for all pupils, including those with special educational needs”
“Pupils listen attentively in lessons … behave very well … (and) gain the confidence they need to talk about their work and share their ideas”
“The school has established a well sequenced, broad and ambitious curriculum (that) sets out, with absolute clarity, what the important knowledge is for each unit”
“Teachers are skilled in presenting new information clearly”
“In the early years, leaders have considered children’s varied starting points when designing the curriculum.”
“Reading is a priority across the school”
“The personal development programme is underpinned by the school’s strong values”
“The school is ambitious for pupils’ social and cultural development”
“Staff are proud to work at the school”
