Ofsted
OFSTED – 26 & 27 September 2023
We are thrilled to be able to share with the whole community that, after two days of a full inspection, we are delighted to announce that we have once again remained as a GOOD Ofsted rated school. We are pleased to report that, once again, the inspection team were resounding in their judgement of the school.
Key highlights include:
• The school’s curriculum development means learning is ambitious and well sequenced
• Behaviour in lessons is calm – pupils concentrate fully on their learning
• Important knowledge is clearly identified, and teachers frequently review previous learning.
• Teachers’ expert subject knowledge helps engage students in discussions
• Lessons regularly include a focus on reading
• Pupils who find reading difficult are supported by intervention
• The school…listens to the voice of its pupils
• The school tracks attendance closely
• Pupils are confident that they receive the information they need to consider their next steps.
• Relationships between pupils and staff are good
• The sixth form students are keen to explain they chose to stay at the Warriner School because they appreciate their teachers and the individualised support that they receive.
• Pupils are happy in school
• Most pupils achieve well in their subjects
• The school has a thoughtful curriculum
• Pupils have the confidence to pursue ambitious goals
We are not yet outstanding because:
- In some subjects, the post-16 curriculum is not as well-developed as in key stage 3 and 4
- The progress of disadvantaged students in the previous year was not quite as good as we would hope
