A secondary school near Preston, which recently benefited from a government boost to its facilities, has been praised by Ofsted inspectors following a recent visit.
On the same note, they added: “Older pupils enjoy supporting younger pupils as they learn to become responsible citizens. Pupils learn how to keep safe and healthy. They also take part in the wide range of extra-curricular activities, including forensics club, eco club and the choir.”
The priority placed on reading was also praised, as were the “rigorous systems” in place to identify the additional needs of pupils with SEND.Inspectors wrote: “In a small number of subjects, leaders are in the process of defining the knowledge that they want pupils to learn. On occasion, this hampers how well teachers design learning that builds on pupils’ prior knowledge.
Ofsted also said: “Some aspects of leaders’ communication with parents are in development. This means that some parents do not feel as well informed as they should about how well their children are progressing through the curriculum.”
